How lovely is this Gypsy #moth?! Check out those super long and fluffy antennae. Found at #ThePaddock during our most recent moth morning #tcv #haringey #london

Here are some more UK bumblebees you can spot in June 🐝 #BumblebeesAreBack This month, most of these rare and less common queens will be producing their first daughters – the workers 👑💼 What bumblebees have you spotted recently? 👀

Today, Buzzing in the East End (B.E.E) partnered with The Conservation Volunteers for a beginners bumblebee field ID workshop in Leyton Jubilee Park 🔍🐝 We set up a new BeeWalk through their wildflower meadow, recording Buff-tail, White-tail and Common carders.

@TCVHaringey @BumblebeeTrust @greenwicheco Is is a brown banded carder bee? I don't have insider knowledge I swear!

Can you ID this bumblebee? 🐝 We had a fantastic Bumblebee ID Day with @BumblebeeTrust last week in the beautiful @greenwicheco #tcv #bumblebee #london

@porridgepoetry We've not got one planned at present as I would have to get up at about midnight to get there on time😅 - but I'm not ruling it out as it's something I love doing! (-Joe)

Great news guys! So much so that you made it as the "positive wildlife news of the week" in our newsletter - really nice to celebrate a win for wildlife in the capital.

Join us tomorrow and on two other dates in March for some family fun in Abbots Park! There will be colouring, nature crowns and scavenger hunts all for free. Please note, all children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

The Lloyd Park Green Gym helping out with some woodchipping near the cafe! Woodchipping has many uses, preventing undesirable plants from taking over flower beds and other growing spaces as well as providing valuable nutrients to the soil and beneficial mycorrhizal fungi!

Thank you to everyone doing their bit for wildlife by taking one of our bird boxes last Friday! It was a really enjoyable evening with lots of lovely wildlife conversations and smiling faces - we hope they bring some more smiles as they get used! #TCV #BigGardenBirdWatch

We're doing a free bird box giveaway later this month! Join TCV at The Stables in Lloyd Park between 3pm and 6pm on the 26th of January. We only have a limited number to give away so register now to avoid disappointment! eventbrite.co.uk/e/bird-box-giv… #birdbox #joininfeelgood

Thank you to all the volunteers at Leyton Jubilee who helped us re build our dead hedge along the woodland walk! Unfortunately, we lost a section of this valuable habitat in a fire, but some hard work by our volunteers has put this right again! (oh and we found a cool frog) #tcv

A multi-layered above and underground habitat created with layers of sticks and brash in Leyton Jubilee park - this will provide a home for manner of invertebrates and amphibians! Join in our next session by emailing gg-waltham-forest@tcv.org.uk or by calling 07740899645
