The river was close to flood and very full, fast and brown, but the park is wonderful.
We caught sight of this heron just as it landed to perch on the railing across the river (top right photo), when someone came along it casually moved to a jumbled raft of wood and debris carried down by the flood waters and collected by the bridge. We watched it for a while until it flew away.
The small wader (sandpiper?) was nearly invisible picking its way along the edge of the same raft, whereas the duck was not so subtle!
We also saw these birds:
