I visited Walthamstow Wetlands on a sunny day in the middle of August and firstly went to the bridge over the stream on the main road.
There I saw of pair of mating Willow Emerald damselflies
also a female Banded Demoiselle damselfly
and a male Banded Demoiselle damselfly
and a Migrant Hawker dragonfly
Over the road in the other part of the Wetlands, I saw a beautiful Waterlily in a small pool
I walked along a path at the edge of one of the reservoirs where a young Grey Heron was hiding from me
It moved onto a shrub near a blackberry hedge at the edge of the stream
A tiny blue butterfly was resting on the edge of a leaf
View of one of the imposing tall electricity pylons on the site
Multi-spotted Ladybird on a patch of yellow flowers
Three juvenile Tufted ducklings swam in unison along the stream
A juvenile Grebe was lurking near some waterlily pads
A parent was skulking near reeds at the edge of the stream
I was lucky enough to get a view of a Kingfisher with a fish in its beak
A Little Egret was standing in nearby shallow water
A Terrapin came up for some air - I originally thought it was dead because it was motionless for some time but, when I went past the same spot a little later, it had gone
Pair of mating Common Blue damselflies attached to a twig
Large juvenile Great Crested Grebe swimming in one of the reservoirs
There was an adult Great Crested Grebe with two unevenly-sized chicks in the distance
