A pair of Kingfishers hard at work digging a nest hole. From the Kingfisher hide at RSPB Rye Meads in Hertfordshire.

Look at me, I'm the captain now! Herons messing about on boats, with a plastic owl. Battersea Park, London. #birds

When I visited Battersea Power Station last week, this Peregrine was on the nest box, alone. At 16 years old and without a mate when other pairs already had eggs laid, it seemed possible her breeding days might be over. I'll have an update in a few days when I sort more photos.

@Brians_birds Thank you Brian!

@BGallagherColl Superb!

Another Grey Heron portal, in a south London park. #birds

Ring-necked Parakeets amongst the blossom. Victoria Park, east London. #birds

@Gracesjdl Thanks!

@BGallagherColl The shot is fantastic! Although the weather was gloomy, the seagulls really brought life to the picture.

I usually post photos taken in chronological order but often at least a week behind. It’s a beautiful sunny day in London today but these are from last weekend when it was a bit grey. Black-headed gulls, in various ages and stages, from the Millennium Bridge over River Thames.

@Brians_birds 👍 cheers Brian

@BGallagherColl Lovely Brian

Up, up... and away. Peregrine Falcon L7 in Glasgow City Centre. #birds

@K9Scottish Thanks!

@BGallagherColl Brilliant photos 😍

A couple more frames of an Otter on the River Clyde in Glasgow last Friday.

@GraemeK73 😂👍

@BGallagherColl The pigeon lived to poo another day! Great capture as always, Brian!

Female Peregrine L7 in Glasgow City Centre, Friday 5th March. She'd just dived from above the City Chambers to take a pigeon, then landed on a roof with it, but after a struggle the pigeon got away. That's when I arrived with the camera: missed all the action! #birds

@DaveMHolland Thanks!

@BGallagherColl Brilliant shots!

@northern_dark North side of river has continuous footpath. Worth a look round Richmond Park too though (Herons and more) and it’s on south side.

@BGallagherColl Apologies, just noticed you’d replied to another post. Which bank of the river is best for walking, north or south? Just curious whether there are any dodgy areas to avoid…
