St. James's Park: Adorable(st)

More irresistable (apparently) in large.

More white plumage...
I've not sorted today's (bumper haul of) images, but know it'd eventually (/inevitably) have ended up as a Ross's goose pic., and this one jumped out at me so it'll do.

I met up with Arachne for a coffee and an amble in the early evening, which was uplifting; The Mall was closed to cars on account of the Commonwealth gathering, so we were able to stravaig along the central London streets for a bit, which felt slightly surreal.

I've also uploaded some extras for now: the Commonwealth flags on The Mall, and the sunset at Streatham Hill station.
