Amazing finds in Birdbrook Nature Reserve

Keeping it Wild trainee Max here - all of us trainees visited Kidbrooke Village to see the awesome sites and surrounding area. After lunch, we went to Birdbrook Nature Reserve to carry out conservation work. When we got to Birdbrook, we had a short guided walk and were told about the species that lived there. At the end of the walk, we found some refuge and Fay told us that perhaps we could see a slowworm if we were lucky. Fortunately, we saw a slowworm! We also saw an invasive species - an alpine newt. When carrying out the conservation work, a common lizard appeared much to our surprise. We also saw a wall lizard and great spotted woodpecker. It was an excellent day and we were very lucky to see such a range of species in central London!
