The weather has been nice and we have been volunteering at the local wildlife wildlife sanctuary for the past two days and today we collected a whole range of Raptor and Owl pellets. We have also been to Epping Forest, Hanningfield Reservoir and we are planning to go to Thorndon and Rainham Marshes within the next week or so.
We have also recently brought a set of 3 night vision cameras that we are going to use to watch for local wildlife in our gardens and the results will be posted here.

Hanningfield Reservoir
We had a great day at Hanningfield Reservoir, seeing many waterfowl including:
We were so good at identifying the animals that the rangers were impressed when someone showed us a photo of a grass snake and asked what it was. They thought i was an adder and told them how to disquingish the two.
So, we had a great day and the photos and many new articles will be hitting The British Wildlife Wiki soon!
- Tufted Ducks
- Pochards
- Mallards
- Mute Swans
- Black Swan
- Red-Crested Pochards

New Wiki Articles
Over the next few days a lot of new wiki articles will be added by us on Fungi, Plants and Birds. These are some of the areas where the Wiki is lacking articles in comparison with the amount of species to the amount of pages that are on the wiki. We will be working with a number of new people in the coming months to supply the wiki with new information and a number of different photos that provide clear details for easy identification.

Youtube Special!
Next month we are going to be creating a special video to commemorate the fact that we will have 200 subscribers and 100,000 video views on YouTube. We are going to catch 150 fish at the local and 50 herps at the local glen.
Last year we caught 100 animals in a day and this time we aim to catch 200 animals in 2-3 consecutive days, depending on the weather.
If you have any other idea that would make the videos special please let us know by emailing, contactus@thewwc.org.

Website & Wiki News
Wiki News
We have teamed up with more photographers to help bring more high quality photos to the wiki and make every animal and plant as clear as day! These include Zac Allain and 6 others who are out and about whenever and where ever they can poised with their cameras ready to get us a perfect shot!
Also on the wiki new Season, month and other banners will be put on appropriate pages to indicate whether the species is endangered, when it can be seen and what month you are most likely to see it.
Website News
With the new layout going as planned and new pages being added everyday it seems that the website should be back up withing the first or second week of July. We have had a few technical problems with the domain servers due to the weather but this has been overcome now and we will let you know when the site is back up!
