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 Stârc cenușiu and Cormoran mare use as refuge. Among the wild birds you can see are Gâscă de vară, Lebădă de vară, Gâscă egipteană, Rață lingurar, Rață pestriță, Rață moțată, Rață sunătoare, Rață jamaicană, Corcodel mic, Corcodel mare, Porumbel gulerat, Porumbel de stâncă, Găinușă de baltă, Lișiță, Becațină comună, Fluierar de munte, Pescăruș râzător, Cormoran mare, Stârc cenușiu, Uliu păsărar, Pescăraș albastru, Vânturel roșu, Șoim călător, Papagal Micul Alexandru, Gaiță, Coțofană, Pițigoi albastru, Silvie cu cap negru, Țiclean, Sturz de vâsc, Sturz cântător, Măcăleandru, Codobatură de munte and Codobatură pestriță.
