Cuteness overload. On a 100 metre stretch of the River Lea down at Hackney Marshes we have another brood of mallard ducklings, this time 11 of them. #LondonBirds #nature #wildlife #spring #ducklings #springwatch @Natures_Voice @SaveLeaMarshes @CanalRiverTrust @LeeValleyPark

@alanrevel Beauty against the blue sky 🩵

Whitethroats are back in force down on Lea marshes. Was lovely to hear their song as they look to claim their territories for the breeding season. #LondonBirds #nature #wildlife #birds #eastlondon #birdsong @Natures_Voice @SaveLeaMarshes @LeeValleyPark

@matt____taylor Hi Matt. Thanks for sharing the images and flagging this, we've shared it with our Ranger team who are chasing our contractors to get it sorted

@LeeValleyPark Do you have plans to clean up this area on Pickett's Lock Lane? It's in a pretty disgusting state. Part of National Cycle Route 1 and yet users need to get off and pick up their bikes to navigate through it. maps.app.goo.gl/mtQcBYpGvvfK7Q…

Spring is here and so is the wild camping season - well almost! At Lee Valley Almost Wild Campsite, Broxbourne, you'll get all the amenities you love about wild camping, including toilets and running water ⛺ ow.ly/UeTP50YBaq1

The weather might be warming up today but waterbodies in the park remain cold and can cause Cold Water Shock which can be fatal ❄️ Please stay out of the park's lakes and river and keep yourself and others safe ow.ly/sZLY50YFtHN

@alanrevel Amazing colours 🧡🩵💜

About a dozen teal remain at Hackney Marshes including this very smart looking male. It won't be long before they head to their breeding grounds around the Baltic & Siberia. #LondonBirds #nature #wildlife #ducks #hackney #riverlea @Natures_Voice @CanalRiverTrust @LeeValleyPark

As weather heats up, remember: entering park waterbodies is against our bylaws and dangerous due to hidden obstacles and cold shock 🛟 If in trouble, float to live ow.ly/HYMQ50YBa5Z

@alanrevel Amazing photo! We can just hear the song through the screen 🐦

Belting out his song Blackcaps have returned - Hackney Marshes are awash with the sound of male blackcaps singing. #LondonBirds #nature #wildlife #spring #wildlife #birds @Natures_Voice @LeeValleyPark

@CanalRegent Beautiful profile! 🧡🩵

Positive signs for the kingfisher pair on the island at Walthamstow Wetlands. If all goes well, the male is going to have a lot of work to do. #LondonBirds #nature #wildlife #kingfisher #birdphotography @Natures_Voice @LeeValleyPark

It’s #BeKindToSpidersWeek! 🕷️ Spiders help control insects, protect crops and support our ecosystems Spot these in the park: Wasp Spider, Nursery Web Spider, Crab Spider
