Beschrijving
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 Blauwe Reiger and Aalscholver use as refuge. Among the wild birds you can see are Grauwe Gans, Knobbelzwaan, Nijlgans, Slobeend, Krakeend, Kuifeend, Dodaars, Fuut, Houtduif, Rotsduif, Waterhoen, Meerkoet, Watersnip, Oeverloper, Kokmeeuw, Aalscholver, Blauwe Reiger, Sperwer, IJsvogel, Torenvalk, Slechtvalk, Halsbandparkiet, Gaai, Ekster, Pimpelmees, Zwartkop, Boomklever, Grote Lijster, Zanglijster, Roodborst, Grote Gele Kwikstaart and Rouwkwikstaart.
A resident colony of captive Roze Pelikaan 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 Hawaiian Goose, Indische Gans, Sneeuwgans, Ross' Gans, Brandgans, Roodhalsgans, Casarca, Bergeend, Carolina-eend, Smient (occasional wild birds can occur), Slobeend (occasional wild birds can occur), Wintertaling (occasional wild birds can occur, distinguishable by being full-winged), Pijlstaart (occasional wild birds can occur), Krooneend (occasional feral or wild birds can occur), Eider, and Nonnetje. These captive birds are not included in the bird list below.
