Water is very important to animals at this time of year. The pond in the wildlife garden is providing a source of water for birds to drink from.
If you watch, you will also see damselflies flying and hovering across the pond, as well as laying their eggs on some of the foliage that emerges from the water. Pond skaters can be seen skimming across the top, tracking down flies and other small insects that may fall onto the surface.
During a drier period of weather such as we are having now, we are having to keep the adjacent bog topped up with water. Fortunately we can link a hose to the main lake and use this to ensure the bog plants have enough water to live!

Summer is here!
A few months ago, the Regent's Park Wildlife Garden looked drab and dull as it recovered from a wet and windy winter!
A visit to the garden now reveals a completely different picture.
The garden is buzzing with life - dragonflies, great tits, bumble-bees, honey bees and bush crickets were all spotted within a few minutes of arriving.
If you have a moment or two, come and pay us a visit!
Bumble Bee......
Colour fills the garden......
Every shade......
Check out the blog from 26/3/08 and look at the same flower bed now......
Strange creatures were also spotted, yet to be identified!
