London parks (1 Viewer)

Hi all, sorry if this is in the wrong section - new to all of this! Been a really welcoming site so far, which is lovely. I often go jogging in the London parks and see all sorts of wonderful looking birds, some of which can't be from the UK originally! Is there a 'best' park in London for birding?

What is everyone's favourite London bird?

Thanks! Alexandra.

Hi again Alexandra. The ponds in Kensington Gardens and St James Park do have mostly non-native species. However, the wider areas trees etc have a wide variety of passerines, corvids, etc.

London covers such a large area it's difficult to know where to advise you... Hampstead Heath is good. But have a look through some of our Opus articles (this will get you started and you can click on the links for the various articles). Then you might like to do a search for the surrounding counties to see if there's any near where you are.

Do come back if you need more help.

My favourites are the Bar Headed geese in
St James’s Park

I just hope I can see them in the Himalaya some time soon!
