A burst of colour!

With Spring well and truly underway, now is the best time to come and visit our garden. With plants displaying beautiful colours and birds busy feeding their young, this tranquil oasis in the heart of London is a the perfect place to escape for a few minutes or hours and watch nature do it's dazzling thing!

Busy day!

Volunteers have been busy today planting a hazel copse in the wildlife garden close to the entrance. We're hoping that this native species will provide a green and pleasant covering for this once bare area that will prove attractive both to the birds and wildlife as well as our human visitors.

Sightings today included: Gt spotted woodpeckers (2), long tail tits (2), great tits (6), blue tits (6), greenfinches (2), egyptian geese (2), swans (4), coots (2), parakeets (2), crows (6), jays(2), magpies (3) and robin(1).

Spring.

Spring has finally arrived in NW1 with our Community Wildlife Garden already becoming very busy with wildlife.

The daffodils are blooming, ladybirds have been spotted (sorry...!) and the birds are gathering material for their nests.

In a few minutes our volunteers spotted (sorry again!) woodpeckers, blue, long-tail and great tits, greenfinches, bumblebees and robins.

It won't be long before the swifts arrive and the bats start visiting once again after what seems like a long hibernation.

So come and pay us and the wildlife a visit in our oasis of peace and wildlife in our brilliant capital city.

Spring continues!

The Wildlife Garden is blooming marvellous at the moment! The blossom looks gorgeous, the bog is flowering and attracting lots of bees and the frog spawn has hatched and tadpoles have been spotted enjoying the pond.

There is plenty of bird activity too. A woodpecker can be heard all day long...the tapping must be giving him a headache! There are plenty of finches and tits (blue, long-tail and great) to be seen as well and the herons pop in from time to time.

The Garden is open to all during day-light hours and offers peace and quiet from the madness of our great city, so pop in and enjoy it soon.

Spring has sprung

After what feels like a very long winter, signs of the new season have appeared in the garden. Daffodils everywhere, birds are nesting and we had our first frog sighting of the year!

Can you spot the frog?
