@helenbennett.bsky.social, had set today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme as #BestBeaks Meet Walter (Rail-ee, sorry!) one of the locals at @maplelodgereserve.bsky.social. He inhabits a small pool near a bird feeder and one year became quite tame. He is very proud of his beak. #birds #wildlife #canon #eck

#BirdOfTheDay theme is #Reflection Taken at @maplelodgereserve.bsky.social this snipe had a beautiful backdrop of a bank of purple loosestrife. Unfortunately this hadn’t happened this year as the reserve is in drought conditions and that lake is now a meadow! #birds #wildlife #hertfordshire #eck

A group of 8 great white egrets dropped into @maplelodgereserve.bsky.social this afternoon. They were always quite distant and partially hidden. This is a remarkable sighting and number for Hertfordshire! #hertsbirds #birds #hertfordshire #wildlife

Thank you Lucy for leading another great Bat Walk last Friday. We had saw lots of bats, including Common & Soprano Pipistrelle, Daubentons, Brown Long Eared, Lesser Horseshoe & Noctule. A magical walk in the dark beside #RuislipLido, particularly enjoyed by the children who came. @Hillingdon
