One pair of #moorhens in the local park has been building a much larger and more elaborate nest than all the others every year, always in the same place. This year they have really outdone themselves, building a veritable little castle. Here you can see proud Mum brooding on her second batch of eggs for the season.

We share the Grand Union canal with all kinds of birds.

Here are some swans and their cygnets at the aptly named swan doors of the boat, eating bird seed.

Their long necks help them graze for underwater greens.
