An Egyptian goose standing on short-mown green grass in an urban park in early spring, facing right toward a single yellow daffodil in bloom. The bird has pale buff-cream plumage, a distinctive chestnut-brown eye patch, and a dark chest spot. A wild-grass meadow margin with dried stems and fresh green growth fills the background.

Notes on the description

The bird is an Egyptian goose (Alopochen aegyptiaca), identifiable by its chestnut “spectacles” around the eyes and the dark patch on its breast. It is a common sight in London parks — the species has successfully colonised much of the capital since its 17th-century introduction from Africa.

The daffodil alongside it places the scene firmly in early spring, which aligns with late March in the UK. Egyptian geese typically begin laying eggs from late March into April, so this bird may well be nesting nearby.

This week’s midweek walk is Wednesday and will wend its way along the canal to an early barley harvest in Baker Street.

Wide view of a canal on a clear sunny day, with calm water reflecting blue sky and trees. On the left bank, a busy walkway is lined with people sitting, walking, and socialising along the edge. Early spring trees include bare branches and large weeping willows with fresh green foliage. Residential buildings rise behind the trees. On the right, a narrowboat is moored along the canal, and an old industrial chimney stands in the background. The scene feels lively and relaxed, with strong sunlight and sharp shadows.

Mad pretty today in Islington.

Feeling threatened

This male kingfisher on Regent's Canal suddenly adopted a defensive posture.

Signs of spring

The first new leaves unfurling on this bush this female kingfisher was perched up on along Regent's Canal this lunchtime.

31: Regents Canal

Thought I'd posted this when I visited Little Venice a while back, but apparently not!

Like the others on the canal, there were two side-by-side locks here but one was removed in the 70s.

A nice surprise.

This female turned up on Regent's Canal - had not seen her before. She has quite dark feet, likely she is a juvenile.

Großstadtlärm adé und das mitten in London? Ja, das geht. Zwischen bunt bewohnten Hausbooten, raschelndem Laub und verschlungenen Pfaden zeigt sich am Regent’s Canal eine überraschend stille Seite der Hauptstadt. Kommen Sie mit auf einen Spaziergang!
