So, after a few months, say six months, I have gone back to the English Gardens armed with a camera. From what I heard from other photographers and other visitors, wildlife seems to have abandoned the place. So I went there to see for myself.

The Gardens have been cleaned of all old dead wood as well as many of the older shrubs and bushes. The result is a clean and open space, totally devoid of birds that loved to be there in previous years. So, the old adage of “Shoot what you get, not what you don’t have” became more true than ever.
