June 21, 2010 - Birds of Kensington Palace

For starters, we've seen some very interesting life birds. Birds such as.... the Coot. Yes, the British Coot, though identical (to us) in appearance to the North American Coot, is a different species.

We've also seen these life birds:

White-headed duck
Kingfisher
Blackbird (looks like a grackle, acts like a thrush)
Wood Pidgeon
Magpie
Grey Heron
Robin (looks like a warbler, acts like a junco)
Carrion Crow
Ringed-neck parakeet
White Pelican (really, they were white. This isn't a BP joke)


And here are some videos of some "royal" birds we saw at Kensington Palace.



And we also saw "Britain's Favourite Bird" the Robin. This special Robin lives at Kensington Palace.



And though the Mute Swan may seem ordinary, this one is owned by The Queen.
