August Updates
Hey everyone! It's been a while since I last made a post due to the overwhelming fact that I have been so busy! We have been up to so much that I havent been able to upload the photos yet.
We have been all around the Lee Valley area and hired out a boat for the day, travelling along the river taking photos of animals such as Grey Heron that were only a few yards away from the boat!
We have been to RSPB Rye Meads and saw lots of wonderful wildlife including a pair of Kingfishers, White-tailed Damselflies, Migrant Hawkers and many more! The shere number of Hawkers kept me busy as I waited for some to land. We als saw Cormorants, Common Terns and a huge range of wild flowers to name a few!
At Hainault Forest we heard more than we saw due to the weather. It was a blistering hot day and we didn't get down there until late morning so most of the birds were hiding in the shade. We did however manage to see many species of dragonflies and butterflies.
We have been to many other places as well in the 3 weeks that I havent made a post! Lots of wonderful photos will be coming to the wiki soon when i get back from a short holiday to visit some family.

New Wiki Features
Sorry it's been a while since we made a decent blog post as we have been very busy recently!
We have now enabled some new features on the wiki such as:
Chat enables you to talk to other members of the wiki community as it is a form of IM.
New Look Page Editor
When Wikia changed it's look to a more modern one, it left the old page design as it was, but now there is a new one! One that is more modern and easier to use!
Get used to these new features and happy editing!
Please note: The images above show the features mentioned on a different wiki to The British Wildlife Wiki

British Wildlife Centre
We had the best day ever at The British Wildlife Centre in Surrey. We saw everything from Harvest Mice to Red Deer. We got hundreds of photos and quite a few videos which will be uploaded to both YouTube and The British Wildlife wiki some time soon!
There is also a great new member on the wiki. His username is Purple Centipede and is doing a great job adding, categorising and adding photos to pages. Check out his Flickr Stream here.
