A Monday Afternoon at St James' Park

Clicked this earlier today at St James' Park here in London.
It was beautiful sunny day and there were loads of people making the most out of it.


I really like the above snap because it reminds me of the paintings of French Neo-impressionist - Georges Seurat.

Especially his painting titled - "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" (attached below)

A few garden birds from Cambridge (UK)


Just back from Cambridge... Went for a quick day trip to check out some the city and some architecture there. While there sneaked in a few minutes of bird watching here and there in the nice gardens and parks of the colleges.

The most noteworthy catch of the day was the amazingly entertaining and cute -
Long-tailed Tit (Aegithalos caudatus)

A few more snaps of the same...


The most amazing aspect of the city for me was it's amazing trees. It's always great to visit a place with nice old trees : )

After being entertained by the Long-tails for quiet a while a few more noisy birds from the same family caught my attention -
The Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus)
And the Great Tit (Parus major)

And I'll end with a snap of the city most important natural feature - the River Cam.
