St. James's Park: Ruddy Friendly

Brighter in large.

We went for coffee by Clapham Common in the morning, and went to visit the Ross'sling in the afternoon, but it and its parents were hiding (naughty cow geese...). I've blipped this sweet ruddy shelduck before (here), and it was on particularly friendly form today, begging and even taking food from the chap's hand. I liked the complementary shoes and speculum...
Otherwise, I just photographed fauna: a moorhen, the v. big cygnets, a "black" crow, and a curious squirrel.
