You mention about what the herons might eat - but even more of an enigma is the pelicans in St James's. I once saw one of them take one of the pigeons!
I have seen a video of this happening! And lots of other videos of pelicans trying to eat literally anything that moves, including capybara and even a hippo. They are eternal optimists!
It never ceases to amaze me how much green space there is in London and how varied the creatures that inhabit it. Not birds I know, but the squirrels are always proper little posers who seem to love being the centre of attention.

Great write up Gem. You made me feel as if I were there.
