Kingfisher Banks Kingfisher nest in burrows excavated into river banks. They work as a pair for up to a couple of weeks digging the hole up to a meter deep into the bank. The tunnel ends with a nest chamber cleverly angled to prevent their eggs rolling down the tunnel into the river! A pair could have a number of broods in a season, often excavating new burrows for each brood. In some locations in the park the nesting opportunities are limited so we have created artificial nesting areas to encourage Kingfisher to breed. In front of the Wildlife Discovery Centre at Fishers Green we have built a large nest bank with an exposed sandy face – perfect for Kingfisher to burrow into. In amongst the sand we’ve also installed some artificial tunnels and nest chambers, if they do use these we can insert a camera and get up-close views of the young, unfortunately nothing has nested here yet – other than solitary mining bees! At Stanstead Innings we’ve installed more tunnels in a bund across the lake, set behind wooden shuttering to support the bank. At the entrance to the tunnel there is a dribble of white paint on the wood which is meant to imitate Kingfisher droppings – encouraging the birds with the prospect of a successful nest site. Along the Old River Lea nest tunnels were installed into the natural bank to enhance the existing habitat during a wider project to enhance the river habitat. The artificial nest bank at RSPB Rye Meads has been used successfully by Kingfisher over the years so we’re hopefully that our nest sites will also eventually be used. Details about visiting Rye Meads can be found on their website.

< Back Catkin Catkin - mooring Catkin - mooring Catkin - mooring 1/13 Wide beam Dave Clarke 53ft 2013 £155,000 SOLD Contact the owner Alex Collings We're selling Catkin, our much-loved widebeam replica barge with transferrable riverside mooring and towpath garden at Lee Valley Marina, Springfield in London E5. Catkin is a 53' x 10' replica barge with a steel hull. She was designed by a liveaboard boater, built by Dave Clarke and fitted out by Lawrie Lavender in 2013. The boat has a reverse layout and good headroom (6ft+). Entering through the wheelhouse you step into the open plan kitchen and living room – it’s a really light and welcoming space, great for hosting or relaxing by the stove. There are three separate cabins: the main bedroom with a full-size double bed and bow storage a single bedroom with under bed storage (also works as an office) and the shower room with a sink, storage, cassette toilet and shower. Heating, power & cruising There's a Webasto diesel central heating system, central multifuel stove, and a small charcoal burner in the main bedroom to stay warm and cosy year round. Catkin is also well set up for off-grid cruising, with 3 solar panels, an MPPT controller, battery charger, 2kW inverter, and shore power connection to a generator – all redone to a high standard in 2023. Well maintained engine and exterior The boat is powered by a reliable Barrus Shire 45HP keel-cooled inboard engine and has comfortably cruised the Thames, Grand Union, River Cam and the River Lea. She was blacked in 2018 and 2023 (with new anodes fitted) and lovingly repainted externally in 2024. A Boat Safety Certificate was issued in February 2025, so everything’s up to date and good to go. The mooring One of the biggest pluses is the transferable private riverside mooring on 'the wall' at Springfield Marina with conveniently easy access to marina facilities. The mooring fees are £461.24/month which includes access to laundry room, shower and toilet block, elsan point, skip, recycling and chandlery. The towpath garden has a lovely lawn, apple tree, hawthorn and an oak, small shed and compost bins. The trees have been well maintained so you get full sun for the solar panels. It's a beautiful space to sit out in the warmer months, surrounded by nature. The marina has a lovely, laid-back community – there's Spring Lea Cruising Club aka 'the marina bar' - a volunteer-run members’ bar - open on Wednesday evenings and weekends, with live music, film nights and a wood-fired pizza oven. The location Being on the River Lea means you feel very close to nature – there are bats, swifts, dragonflies, coot chicks and so much more that we will miss. We've seen cormorants eating eels and spotted giant carp. On the doorstep there's Walthamstow Wetlands, horseshoe woods and the marshes, where we've seen kingfishers, peregrine falcons and more. It’s peaceful, green, and feels a world away from central London, even though it's well connected – nestled in between Clapton, Tottenham Hale, Stoke Newington, and Walthamstow. Price £155,000 - happy to answer questions or arrange viewings for interested buyers. Previous Next
