it's a good day when sparrowhawk makes you miss the bus 2007-03-12 - 3:39 p.m. all photos © 2007 by elaine radford one of the many hides for observing the wild birds who use the wetland reserve All day at the London Wetland Centre. It's actually in Zone 2 and easily accessible by going to the end of the Hammersmith and City Line, a "tube" line I'd never taken before. I don't know what I expected. Industrial hell, like wetland areas in Louisiana, I suppose. But Barnes, the neighborhood in question, appears to be yet another of the snooty and beautiful London neighborhoods full of pubs and fancy brick houses. Some highlights: A Great-Crested Grebe catching a huge red-tailed fish that we were sure wouldn't go down -- and the other GCGR thought the same, hence swam over to get a piece, only to see his mate swallow the fish whole and then laughingly toss water all over his face A female Rose-Ringed Parakeet who was just determined to break through the parakeet fencing on the tit tubes and eat all the seeds herself -- hilarious to try to watch her shoulder open the wire to get at the goodies A bad-tempered Mute Swan who tried to chase a couple of Canada Geese off the territory but only succeeded in chasing them onto the land A male Sparrowhawk gliding in through the trees to investigate the feeder and its heavy load of Tits, Greenfinches, and Reed Buntings, who wisely vacated the area when the Sparrowhawk intruded itself Let us not forget the two ugly voles, one of whom nearly ran over my feet. The list, roughly in the order seen: Rock Dove Mallard Eurasian Coot Common Moorhen Grey Heron Long-Tailed Tit Chaffinch Wood Pigeon Great Cormorant European Robin Tufted Duck Canada Goose Black-Headed Gull Magpie Northern Lapwing Great Crested Grebe Little Grebe Reed Bunting Chiffchaff Blue Tit Green Woodpecker, a pair Winter Wren Greenfinch Greylag Goose Northern Shoveler Eurasian Wigeon Common Pochard Mute Swan Rose-Ringed Parakeet Teal Blackbird Pied Wagtail Great Tit Ruddy Duck European Starling Common Redshank Gadwall Herring Gull Goldfinch Sparrowhawk At some point in the day I tried a Strongbow cider beer. That's a supposedly fun thing I don't need to do again.
