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

Here what I got up to Saturday before last. The weather was awful: cloudy and drizzly, so after lunch in Grove Ferry, the short walk involved a lot of sitting in the hide. We were rewarded with some pretty close views of a little egret hunting

Yesterday morning I got up early in a feeble attempt to beat the dog walkers (I think there was more than usual), but the wildlife and I managed to squeeze into the brief gaps between the dogs! lol. In fact I think most my photo oppertunities were ended by a dog scaring them wildlife off! Still it was productive morning. The grey squirrels were obviously having a lie in, so the first thing I encounter in Raphaels Park was this lovely great crested grebe

I checked my visitors graph for the last week today and noticed something out of the ordinary:
Whats happened here!? Was I linked to a popular forum thread? was I 'digg'ed (cant think why!)? Or was it merely a glitch? I dont know if any of you check your visitor stats at all but have any of you ever seen anything like this on your blog or your other sites?

Last Wednesday I was free and the weather was good, a rare combination, so I headed out to try photograph some more squirrel close ups. But being half term the park was packed and the squirrels unusually scare. I did get a surprise at the lake: the water level has been lowered about 1-2m so repair work can be carried out on the bank and this has created some shallow areas, shallow enough for a heron to hunt. This is the closest I've got to a heron in Essex
