In our podcasts this year we've been following the story of our local peregrine pair. In this edition, find out what happened to their three chicks. Wildlife photographers and naturalists from London Wetland Centre's Facebook group talk about their favourite autumn wildlife spectacles, share wildlife photography tips and describe what they are looking forward to seeing during November.

Water rail

In the podcast, Jamie describes the water rail, a shy bird which becomes easier to see in autumn and winter at London Wetland Centre.

It is a relative of the coot and moorhen - and can be seen dashing between clumps of reeds.

This photo was taken at the centre by photographer Justin de Villeneuve.

Marsh harrier

Stephen talks about roosting marsh harriers: here's the photo he took in Jersey.

This year, these large raptors have also made a number of appearances at London Wetland Centre, stopping off during their migration.

Marsh harriers rely on wetlands for hunting, feeding and roosting.
