Lee Vally Birdwatching and Wildlife Fair 17-18th Feb 9.30am-4.30pm

In light of the recent discovery of bird flu in domestic turkeys in Suffolk, we wish to confirm that the Lee Valley Birdwatching and Wildlife Fair will continue as planned. This event does not involve the movement or collection of caged or domestic birds.
On advice from the British Trust for Ornithology, we will also continue with the planned bird ringing activity. All ringers ensure that the hygiene rules of the Ringing Scheme are adhered to by everyone visiting the area
We look forward to welcoming you to the event and hope that you enjoy observing the many birds and other wildlife in their natural habitat within our Country Park.

Things to look forward to!
Now in its 6th successful year, and one of the largest events of its type in the country, the event boasts over 50 exhibitors catering for all your birdwatching and wildlife needs. If that wasn't enough there is also a full programme of guided walks taking you into the River Lee Country Park, not to mention a packed lecture programme with talks from experts on a wide range of subjects and even some special celebrity guests.
Taking place at the Lee Valley Park Farms, near Waltham Abbey, in partnership with the East London Birders Forum, the fair is a fantastic opportunity to see many rare wintering birds, including Bittern.

Heron in Hyde Park

There are shots of the Grey Heron flying, fighting with Coots catching fish & good CU's in this short film. It took me about 8 months to film, Herons mostly stand still so it was difficult to get all these action shots - I hope you enjoy it.

London Wetlands Center

The award winning London Wetland Centre is the first project of its kind in the world - more than 40 hectares of created wetlands in the heart of a capital city. In February of 2002 the centre was designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), supporting nationally important numbers of Gadwall and Shoveler duck. Opened in May 2000, the London Wetland Centre offers hundreds of thousands of visitors the chance to see rare and beautiful wetland wildlife just a stone's throw from central London.

Raider's of the Goldfish Pound



The Grey Heron can often be seen if you walk along the quite streches of the Grand Union Canal in West London as they stand patiently waiting for he's dinner to swim along,but they can often find a easy meal in garden goldfish ponds.

We are not alone


Many people going about there everyday business in London's hustle and bustle fail to notice the wildlife that share our capital city with us, the gray squirrel as become a very familiar site,not a native of the Britain, these creatures are native to the hardwood forests of the eastern United States and was introduced to this country in the mid-19th century, but did not realy become established in the wild until about the the turn of the century, after many releases,
Unfortunately these animals have tended to become a pest with gardeners and for the raids on bird tables and feeders.
