London's wildlife: More than pigeons


Beneath a backdrop of rollercoasters, a handful of ducks dive for fish in an ice-free wedge of the gravel pit. The location – Thorpe Park – may be incongruous, but these wildfowl are worth it. They are smew, a stylish "sawbill", and south-west London forms the heart of their British wintering grounds. What finer Christmas present for a capital weekend of urban wildlife?
