Royal Park staff were joined by RSPB volunteers today to plant reeds in the lake by the Wildlife Garden.Sadly one volunteer got stuck in the mud but was soon rescued and given a less sticky assignment!
Once the reeds grow over the summer, they will provide cover for an abundance of wildlife.
Spring is taking hold in the Garden with lots of activity from our resident robins, blue and great tits, woodpeckers, coots and of course mallard ducks.
Blossom is also starting to appear on our cherry trees and all the hard work over winter is beginning to pay off.
Volunteers also checked out the garden for a 'Geocache' spot. If you're new to 'geocaching', put simply it's a digital treasure hunt using sat-nav systems. Sounds complicated? It's not! All you need is a handheld GPS unit (like the one in your phone perhaps) and off you go.
Regent's Park is full of 'treasure' - check out www.geocaching.com for more information and join the hunt. You may even find some RSPB collectables if you do!
Talking of treasure, don't forget to visit the tennis cafe next to the RSPB Wildlife Garden. Not only can you rest your heavy legs while sipping a latte, but you can put £1 in the RSPB box and get yourself an RSPB badge.
