Our flat is very close to Regent's Park, which is a lovely place to walk around, especially when the weather is nice. Lots of people enjoy it, from the joggers to the mothers pushing babies in prams, from the commuters walking through it to get to the tube to the tourists like myself. But if there's one group that really loves Regent's Park, it's birdwatchers.The park is full of birds. Everywhere. Swans, geese, ducks, cranes, and the ubiquitous pigeon are all that my untrained eye can identify, but there are scores more species present. 
And the unusual thing about the birds here is that they are fearless--they aren't afraid of humans at all. Of course, if you go running after them with your arms raised, they will move away (yes, I've seen someone do this), but if you're walking down the path and get close to them, they'll just ignore you. I've never seen birds behave this way.

I've never seen birds behave this way. They are fascinating to watch! I've always thought of birdwatching as a bit, well, weird, but I've definitely reconsidered my position after spending so much time watching these amazing creatures that live only a couple blocks from me.
The park is just a wonderful place. I'm sure it is amazing in the spring and summer, when all the flowers in all the gardens are in bloom.
