Valentino, Valentines Park, Ilford.

Seems ages since Ive last been out due to Christmas parties and work commitments, so it was great to get out for an hour on Christmas eve, decided to pay Valentino a visit, the regular wintering Med gull, now back for its Fifteenth winter!

Cracking views and regularly comes to bread, so well worth a visit if your passing through.

Egyptian geese have spread to every local park now.

Just to keep you in that Christmas mood. :-)

Found this smart Red-breasted goose in mayesbrook park the other day, smart bird despite its origin!
