Ravensbury Park — Attraction in London

There was a Swan There that made a Snorting Sound! Maybe thats the sound it makes as it was the First time for me to Hear One! :) Also There was a Coot that was taking the Bread i was feeding it, back to its nest which was a way off, to feed its young. It was So Lovely to see. :-)

🚨UPDATE:4/6/22-I NO LONGER FEED BREAD TO BIRDS AND ESPECIALLY WATERFOWL, AS IT IS 'EXTREMELY' BAD FOR THEIR HEALTH!!!

🚨🚨NOT ONLY DOES IT MAKE THEM 'FEEL' FULL WITHOUT GIVING THEM THE 'NECESSARY' NUTRIENTS THEY NEED AND STOPS THEM FORAGING FOR THEIR 'NATURAL' FOODS.

👍'KIBBLED' CORN/MAIZE. NOT 'WHOLE' THAT CAN CAUSE CHOKING ESPECIALLY FOR THE YOUNG WATERFOWL LIKE...

It's all been lost only existing in some of our...

Covid review- went here a few days ago. Nice park, not busy, everyone kept to 2m on the grass areas. On the paths down towards the river it’s hard to keep the distance. River is accessible and had a pebble bottom but wouldn’t suggest going in it as it has a current and swarming with flies (can see this when the sun shines) has a lovely children’s playground and an outdoor gym. Both not in use due to restrictions. Park cafe is open for takeaway only but doesn’t sell ice cream. There is outdoor seating provided by the cafe. Parking is available on the main road...
