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.

Free Public Lecture Series, Spring 2007

Birkbeck College, University of London, in conjunction with the Ecology and Conservation Studies Society, is running a series of free public lectures on “Conservation and Sustainability - Living within our Environmental Limits”
Sustainability and conservation are of literally vital importance to our future. Human demands on Earth’s resources threaten the life support systems on which the future of our own species – and of countless others - depends. The significance of climate change is increasingly recognized. These complex, interlocking issues force us to consider urgently how best we can live within environmental limits; but the right strategic actions are hotly debated.
This lecture series will inform that debate. An introductory overview of global warming and world issues will be followed by lectures describing aspects of particular relevance for the UK: energy use; fresh water resources; land use; urban waste; the sea around us. Problems will be posed and solutions proposed.
Full details of the lecture series are available on the Birkbeck website.

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.
