Sutton Peregrines. 1/2. I wasn't expecting to see the adult female and the juvenile male having a courtship display, as happened this afternoon, but I suppose it's all part of growing up! Both adults continue to accept his presence, at least for now. #londonwildlife #birds

Garden birding. What I presume is the same Blackbird that I saw two days ago spent quite a while in the garden today, often just standing and listening for potential prey. The fallen leaves will likely be helping him in this respect. #londonbirds #birds

A cheeky lunchtime visit today and spotted one of the males.
He was sat above a group of very vocal teal on the River Lea.

A perfect afternoon of local patch birding with 9 Whooper Swans seen to drop into Tyttenhanger GPs & then a Cattle Egret was found amongst the gulls. Breaks my previous local year record taking me to 154 species this year seen within 5 miles of home! #hertsbirds #londonbirds

We had a late brood of kingfishers down on the River Lea - this youngster was one of four which fledged.
Watch as it bobs and chirps just a few metres away - fledglings are so tame.

Well, it's taken a long time but I've finally found my first Slender-horned Leatherbug (Ceraleptus lividus). This one was under a fallen branch at NWT Sweet Briar Marshes on Monday.

Ok, not quite local to the London area, but too cute not to repost!
With no snow on the ground yet around Churchill, the Arctic hares are fairly easy to spot. In the summer, they are a dark grey, which blends in with the rocks. #mammals 🌿

Some photos, courtesy of Alfie Gay, from a recent Kent Field Club meeting. 109 species of fungi recorded, including Cortinarius terpsichores, which has just 7 records on the NBN atlas. We are very lucky to have Cortinarius expert Mario Tortelli as a Field Club member! #KentNature #Fungi

Reposting some of my photos here - these four were all taken in London, either Hampstead Heath or North London/Totteridge valley area. Peregrines are also quite common. Look up, you’d be amazed to see what’s lurking :))
