So I went here today for a little bike ride, stroll and some birding... didn’t see the falcons but I was a bit late arriving and it was super hot at 30°. I’ll be back often, nice little place to escape the city for a little while. Will post what I did find!

Switchboard Studios is located at the heart of Blackhorse Lane - an area that's changing faster than anywhere else in London.
The industrial estate will see great developments over the next years while keeping its rough and edgy charm.

Greylag Geese and Cranes.
Sadly the cranes are not the avian kind but those that are springing up on building sites all around London. It seems that wherever you go in the capital these days you are never far from the sights and sounds of building work.
This was taken at Walthamstow Wetlands last week and it's a place I'd never visited before. It's a working Thames Water site comprising several reservoirs which is open to the public during the daytime and it was fantastic! I didn't have time to visit the whole site as it is so big but it's extremely scenic and there was a very welcome cooling breeze coming off the water as I walked around photographing birds, butterflies and so on in the hot sunshine. And there was hardly anyone around too - perfect for someone like me who doesn't mind the odd bit of solitude every now and again. Or actually quite a lot of it.

// Kindred Meets...Walthamstow Wetlands // How fabulous to see so many local recommendations in our ‘Kindred Meets your Village’ feature. A personal favourite that’s been mentioned is the Walthamstow Wetlands.
Following a £10.6m investment by @wild.london @lbwalthamforest @officialthameswater & @heritagelotteryfund, Walthamstow Wetlands, Europe’s largest urban wetland reserve, opened to the public in October 2017.
The @walthamstowwetlands is a 211-hectare site comprising of ten reservoirs that provide drinking water for London. The Walthamstow Wetlands project has already helped enrich existing habitats as well as create entirely new ones. Trees have been planted and new meadows and grasslands are being created while bat boxes, bird nest boxes, and bird feeding stations are being installed.
For those wishing to run or cycle, there is a dedicated path that allows you to enjoy the nature reserve without disturbing the wildlife. A cafe is available in the old Engine House, originally constructed in 1894 to house the steam engine which pumped water through the reservoirs.
For any budding junior rangers out there, this summer there are some fun and educational activities where children can learn from a real ranger about getting close to nature. For more details please see the official Walthamstow Wetlands website.

Absolutely delighted to be teaming up with @walthamstowwetlands to bring you a whole evening of British Birds. On Tuesday 21st August we’ll begin our evening with a private wildlife walk around the wetlands to view the indigenous and migrating waterfowl that make use of the reservoirs. To follow, we’ll spend two hours learning to draw British Birds of Prey with breeds including the Peregrine Falcon, Barn and Tawny Owls. We will be introduced to these fine feathers with a detailed talk from an expert local falconer and learn about their habitats, specialist hunting techniques and how they’ve starting to adapt to urban environments. You'll learn where to spot these birds in the wild and we will also discuss the current conservation issues affecting these species. And we’ll be making a donation to the @wild.london With every ticket sold. Tickets on sale now via link in bio or the @walthamstowwetlands website 
Well, that was another lovely, sunny day in London #tottenhamhale #walthamstowwetlands #leavalley #londonsummer #urbannature #joy

Last weekend I went on a two wheeled adventure from Walthamstow to @mother.works in Hackney Wick. Glorious cycle through @walthamstowwetlands then along the canal followed by the mother bowl and an oat milk iced latte in the sun 
perfect way to spend a sunny Sunday. •
