Hi Martin, I have seen your name for a few days on the forums - so glad you decided to say hello. I started here just being interested in birds and moths but its surprising how my interest have evolved over the months. Welcome to WAB and I hope you enjoy it here as much as I do. |

Thanyou for your kind replies i love the site and the forums and especially british wildlife. It started just being insects but it has vastly spread to birds,pond life and amphibians. I was wondering what people are from London who post perhaps we could keep eachother informed on the wildlife we see in and around London. So does anyone live in London? |

Hello and welcome, Suetblocks.
I recently moved from Hayes and grew up in Greenford so I know your part of the world well.
There are some great sites near you that you can visit and loads of knowledgeable people who are very helpful.
Have you thought about visiting your local natural history societies? The Hillingdon Natural History Society Hillingdon Natural History Society is full of helpful people.
Take care and I hope your interest in the world around you grows as you do.
Susie xx

Hello guys wow i really did not think there would be any people really from Hayes it was meant to be a joke as i honestly thought there would be nobody from Hayes interested in nature as its dirty,ugly and a pretty useless place for wildlife. Please keep up your replies. Susie what part of Hayes are you from? |

The posh part! 
I used to live quite close to the Brook House pub.
Considering what a built up area it is there are some good green spaces around and it is actually a great place for all sorts of wildlife. If you are able to get to Minet Country Park there are all sorts of birds and insect life there and they do guided walks too. I believe skylarks are declining in numbers nationally but they seem to be doing well at this site.
I think you would be surprised by just how much you can find of interest in your area and how many people there are about who are wild about wildlife.
So, Hayes is dirty; yes, ugly; definitely, useless for wildlife? Not on your nelly.

welcome to WAB from another ex greenford & hayes. I have to second Susie on Hayes being good for wildlife. my Hayes garden (just off lansdsbury drive) produced 21 species of butterfly, 230 species of moth, 6 types of dragon/damselflies and thats without a pond so plenty to look for. Keep at it.

Minet country park is very good for widlife. This is where I saw my first kestrel hovering low above the ground glaring directly at the rough land on my way to play football.

Probably best not to put your details onto a public website, lovely. Not even one as nice as this.
In that case you will know Yeading Brook Meadows too. That is another good place for insects and wild flowers.
