This winter & into 2025, I’m undertaking an ambitious project to create a 1000sqm wetland in the middle of #London, thanks to @ClaphamCommon1.
Here’s the first instalment from my YouTube channel to explain more about this exciting project👇

Very pleased to have a rather spooky visitor to my wildlife pond last night! 😍 This Tawny owl has been visiting recently and hunting around the margins of the pond. #Halloween #Owl 🦉

Normally you wuld be very unlikely to find Painted Lady and Hummingbird Hawk-moth feeding together like this, but it has been an exceptional year for both - Delapre Abbey today.

Sometimes, beauty comes in small packages. Common Blue butterfly going to roost at my latest wildlife pond project in #Somerset.

Just one Small Copper spotted in Garston Woods today but it was being given a hard time by a male Common Blue who wouldn't let it settle .It chased it quite a distance away before it came back for photos😀

When a Kestrel comes straight at you, no other words needed 😊😉👍 Taken back in 2024, and he was a pleasure to watch and spend time with for three weeks.

Great news! @BBCFOUR4 will be marking Bill Oddie's unique wildlife TV career on the evening of Sunday 16th August: starting at 7pm with The Best of Bill Oddie Goes Wild, followed by Birding with Bill Oddie: Bill’s Beginnings, and finally Bill Oddie’s Top Ten Birds. Please RT!
Often overlooked, it’s very nice to see Small Whites doing well in my garden, since planting lots of brassicas throughout the borders, as well as letting the natural mustards of this world establish around the edges of the garden. #WildlifeGarden
