NDW- Merstham to Oxted replcced by Statues walk in Hyde Park due to weather

Thanks to the sturdy six who braved the snow for the statues walk. I think we did about half the statues, the rest were hidden under snow. The bird life was surprisingly good, a close up of a heron, swans alighting close by, shoveller ducks thinking about spring and watching a great crested grèbe which had çaught a fish and was trying to prevent the gulls from stealing it. And parakeets perching all over a man feeding them.
Here is some info about statues not in the book
the horse,

And the Henry Moore

I think those were the main new ones, the book « walking London’s Statues » by Rupert Hill was published in 2010.
