Spa Fields - Refilled bird feeder

The Spa Fields feeder was empty so I refilled it today. Within 5 mins there was a great tit eating the new seeds.

Bank mole in Wilmington Square

I came across this little creature, I think it is a bank mole, in Wilmington Square today. It was walking along the path but looking wobbly and very disoriented.

Bug Pit

Thanks to all who helped building the bug pit in the square and specifically to Chris from Islington Greenspace for supporting the project. And those who supplied bulbs or food or lent us equipment.
In a brief description things went like this.
-We carried the logs to the site.
-Chris loosened the soil with an mattock.
-We dug the hole with shovels so we could fit the wood in.
-The vertical wood was inserted.
-That was tied with blue rope below the earth-line.
-More wood was put in.
-That was tied with more blue rope.
-Holes were drilled in the logs.
-Everyone had cakes and lemonade.
Here are some pictures

Remember.

Remember, today we are building the log pit in wilmington square, if you want to come to help then you are welcome.
It starts at two and there will be cakes and drinks by four o'clock.

Spa Fields - Mislodged nest

This nest was stuck on the fence in Spa Fields so must have fallen or been knocked down.

Wild flowers

These are some wild flowers already growing in the wild NW corner. I think they are: daisy; Charlock (yellow); Herb Robert (magenta) and Cranesbill.
