Four great white pelican chicks hatched in St James’s Park, the first emerging on 17 May 2026 and all surviving their first month; the park has kept pelicans since 1664 but no breeding had ever occurred. Royal Parks manager Mark Wasilewski is working with Blackpool Zoo, the Royal Veterinary College, ZSL and the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust to care for the chicks, which are expected to take to the water at about 12 weeks old.
