This is a blog based mainly on the wildlife found in the Uk, although there is still plenty of interest to those in the rest of the world.
The posts are mainly reports of wildlife sites I've visited which can be found
here
and articles on the wildlife of the UK. These can be found
here
There is also my regular reports on the heronry at regents park, which can be found

On Monday my trip to Minster (which had only few gulls) was diverted to Elmley Marshes. On the drive in we again passed quite a few nearby Curlews

Whenever I look at lists of places to see birds and other wildlife in London, the Royal Parks of St. James Park, Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens make the list, along with places like the London Wildlife Trust’s Camley Street, but what is probably the best site of all seems to be inexplicably missed out: Regents Park. In fact in a recent article on the top places to see birds in London in BBC Wildlife Magazine (August issue Pg.80) by the Urban Birder himself, David Lindo, completely ignored its existence!
I’ve never understood why this is. Based purely on the numbers game, Regents Park has over 200 recorded species, where as (to my knowledge at least) no other site in London has reached 200 species. Combine this with the 45 annually breeding species that’s quite an impressive list.
The breeding species themselves include kestrels

Carrying on from my last post, where I had just reached the actually RSPB reserve. We checked out most the hides and saw very little, nothing close enough to photograph. So we then head to far hide that was a fair old distance away. When we arrived we looked out over Windmill creek and there was a flock of Knots nearby

On Monday I visited the Elmley Marshes RSPB reserve on Sheppey. The drive in is through the NNR managed area is great, as birds can be seen right next to the road, like this curlew

In between my 2 visits to Raphaels Park on Saturday I went up to Bedfords Park. It was quiet, both in terms of people and wildlife, but in the deer pen one of the stags was dozing in the autumn sun

On Mondays visit to Raphaels park my aim was to get some nice photos of grey squirrels and great crested grebes. But by the time the sun had risen high enough to hit the lake, the grebes had moved off to the back of the lake and the large number of dog walkers had scared the squirrels up the trees. I did however manage a few photos of some mallards in the morning sun

Tuesday before last, after going to Rainham Marshes, I stopped off at Hornchurch Country Park to explore the Ingrebourne Valley. Unfortunately it was as dead as Rainham, the marsh there had almost dried up. But up in a field I came across more than 50 shaggy ink cap toadstools: some just emerging
