Thank you.

Kempton has a lot of lakes and wetlands, and is actually a great area for waterbirds. The gulls are also very active near rubbish dumps and taxi ranks (almost the same thing really), and I must see at least ten a day just on my way to work and back...

Also nearby is the Bonaero park dam which has a lottof Flamingo's at to moment - and herons - and avocets - and gulls - and.... $\O$

OK, less cheating this time. The pigeons were in my garden, and the Woodhoepoo in the park in fron of my house.
