Description
St James's Park is a 23 hectare park in central London. The park is bounded by Buckingham Palace to the west, the Mall to the north, Horse Guards to the east, and Birdcage Walk to the south. The park has a small lake with two islands, West Island and Duck Island, the latter named from the lake's collection of captive waterfowl. The majestic fountain protects Duck Island, which volavka popelavá and kormorán velký use as refuge. Among the wild birds you can see are husa velká, labuť velká, husice nilská, lžičák pestrý, kopřivka obecná, polák chocholačka, hohol severní, kachnice kaštanová, potápka malá, potápka roháč, holub hřivnáč, holub skalní, Slípka zelenonohá, lyska černá, bekasina otavní, pisík obecný, racek chechtavý, kormorán velký, volavka popelavá, krahujec obecný, ledňáček říční, poštolka obecná, sokol stěhovavý, alexandr malý, sojka obecná, straka obecná, sýkora modřinka, pěnice černohlavá, brhlík lesní, drozd brávník, drozd zpěvný, červenka obecná, konipas horský and Konipas bílý ssp yarrellii.
A resident colony of captive pelikán bílý has been a feature of the park since a Russian ambassador donated them to Charles II in 1664. Other captive birds, mostly distinguishable from wild birds by being pinioned (half of one wing amputated), include husa indická, husa sněžní, husa bělostná, berneška bělolící, berneška rudokrká, husice rezavá, husice liščí, kachnička karolinská, hvízdák eurasijský (occasional wild birds can occur, distinguishable by being full-winged), ostralka štíhlá (occasional wild birds can occur), zrzohlávka rudozobá (occasional feral or wild birds can occur), kajka mořská, and morčák malý. These captive birds are not included in the bird list below.
