Islington Wildlife

LB Islington have created a new Blog all about the wildlife that lives in Islington. It may be surprising to some people that any wildlife can survive in such a built-up urban area but when we start looking around us, it is even possible find some rare species that manage to survive amongst the more usual creatures and plants that live alongside us in our local area.

Big Garden Birdwatch 2010

Some NGAG volunteers visited Newington Green early in the morning on 30th January to do some 'citizen science' by making a survey of the birds on the Green for the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch and for our own records. There had been a sprinkling of snow and it was -2o when they first arrived but the sun was bright and it was a beautiful morning.

Tree Planting Ceremony

Things have been moving behind the scenes with NGAG's wildlife project and we finally have a name for it:

Wildlife in Newington Green - WING

We can begin to see some action taking place, both on the Green and in the local streets. We have put up some more bird feeders on the Green before the cold weather set in and birds struggled to find food and the birds are beginning to use these. Later, we will also put up some bee nesting cylinders and insect hibernation boxes, to help butterflies, ladybirds etc to survive the next winters.
