I'd quite forgotten that there is a small colony of Pelicans on the lake in St James' Park, London.
I'd assumed that their wings had been clipped but apparently not.
One individual made a habit of flying to Regent's Park (London Zoo) and stealing fish from the Pelican enclosure there.
So, instead of flying over 4,500 miles to see these magnificent birds, I could have travelled about 40 miles and been home in time for tea.
OTOH I think it unlikely that I would have seen Bison roaming around Trafalgar Square.
