Exciting news from Walthamstow Wetlands!

Last weekend, the Ringing Group tagged a nightingale during one of their bird ringing sessions - an amazing record for the Wetlands!

Nightingales are much-loved summer migrant birds, known for their beautiful, melodious song, but sadly their numbers are declining in the UK.

Although nightingales do breed further up the Lee Valley, this is the first sighting sighting at the Wetlands for 20 years, making this a particularly exciting record!

Bird ringing is a method used to study bird populations by capturing, marking, and releasing birds. This data provides valuable insights into population size and distribution, migration patterns, survival rates, habitat use and breeding success. By collecting and analysing bird ringing data, scientists can better understand bird ecology and inform conservation efforts.

Overheard in London 👀

Oh Londoners, we really are a special species.

From questionable after-work plans to queuing for hours for the latest viral bakery, there are some things only a Londoner would understand 😂

But what kind of Londoner are you really? A streetwise fox who knows all the shortcuts, a homebody hedgehog who absolutely is not crossing London for dinner, or a high-flyer peregrine smashing their KPIs in Canary Wharf?

Take our wild Londoners quiz to find your match 🦊🦔🦫🐦

Psst… the harvest mice have heard something 👀🐭

48% of Wild Londoners want a greener, wilder London and, frankly, the harvest mice are very much on board.

More wild spaces, more room for wildlife, more nature across the capital 🌿

If you live or work in the borough of Hillingdon, Hillingdon Council are looking for your views on key issues for the development of a new Local Plan. This Plan will set the vision for growth in the borough for the next 15 years - including policies around green spaces and the environment.

Now is the time to speak up for your borough if you’d like to see a future in which:

• Hillingdon’s network of parks, rivers and green open spaces are permanently protected;
• Any new development safeguards land for nature recovery and provision of access to nature for the new communities;
• The Wildlife Trusts’ vision of a new Wildbelt designation secures the space nature needs for the future.

Don’t miss the opportunity to ensure nature isn’t overlooked; provide comments via the online consultation portal (including support for Hillingdon's nature-positive suggestions) by 5pm on Friday 21st August. 👇

Hear from Christophe at Naturoparc about the fascinating history of the park and the incredible recovery story of white storks in Strasbourg. 🐦🌿

Once a species in serious decline, white storks have made a remarkable comeback thanks to dedicated conservation work.

Now, London is about to begin its own white stork journey. With our reintroduction starting this autumn, we’re learning from projects like Naturoparc and the people who have helped bring these incredible birds back.

A little throwback to some unseen footage from the Wild London documentary with Sir David Attenborough earlier this year 🌙🦔✨

While London sleeps, this little hedgehog is out making full use of a hedgehog highway through a London garden.

Small gaps in fences can help hedgehogs wander safely from garden to garden in search of food, shelter and a cosy place to rest. Imagine the super hedgehog highway we could create if gardens across London were all a little more connected. 🌿🏡

Want to make your garden part of their nighttime route? Find out how to create your own hedgehog highway via the link below:
