This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures a bright summer day in St James’s Park in 1969, focusing on the park’s iconic white pelicans. A group of these large, charismatic birds is shown gathered on a lush green lawn, several of them captured in the middle of preening their white plumage with their long, distinctive beaks. The sharp sunlight casts deep shadows on the grass, highlighting the birds’ feathers and the tranquil atmosphere of the lakeside setting. In the background, the dark, reflective surface of the lake and the overhanging branches of a weeping willow tree create a natural sanctuary in the heart of Westminster. This digital download is a charming record of London’s natural history and the enduring appeal of its Royal Parks, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of vintage wildlife wall art.
