<p>There's a female kingfisher on the New River (it's a she, the females have orange on the beak) fishing by New River Village today. A friend had seen her recently so I went along today and very quickly spotted her on the chains on the northern end of the "Village". She flew off immediately. If you want to spot her, she seems to favour bits of the chain that are shaded by vegetation and the metal supports are streaked by white-ish pooh. You'll probably need to be on the path on the other side…</p>

You'll probably need to be on the path on the other side from the village to see her- she doesn't hang around long when she see's you looking...</p>

<p>When I was walking along the New River this afternoon I noticed that a short section running east from Green Lanes for about 350m has become a sort of unofficial local nature reserve. The notice below appears at both ends of the section along with the enclosed species lists.</p>
<p>Does anyone know anything about it? The notice says 'I welcome additions to the list' and I'd like to know who to get in touch with. The list of flora is very impressive but the animals list is a bit sparse. I…</p>

<p>Does anyone know anything about it? The notice says 'I welcome additions to the list' and I'd like to know who to get in touch with. The list of flora is very impressive but the animals list is a bit sparse. I keep records of birds in this area and have recorded 44 species this year on the section of New River between Green Lanes and Seven Sisters Road (most interesting ones Kingfisher, Little Egret, Lesser Redpoll, Little Grebe, Red-crested Pochard) and I would happily send my list to whoever this is?</p>
