Keith and I finished the day at St James Park, hoping to possibly see Kingfisher and Grey Wagtail. The park is also home to a collection of exotic wildfowl from around the world. This dates back to when the park was actually the gardens of the Royal Palace at Whitehall. Further details about the history of this collection can be found at https://petesfavouritethings.wordpress.com/2013/07/03/the-royal-pelicans/
As well as seeing the collection birds, we also recorded a number of wild species, but no kingfisher or Grey Wagtail.
