Edmonton: Boundary Ditch and a little egret
Boundary Ditch marks the divide between Edmonton to the right and Ponders End to the left.
The white bird flying along the ditch is a little egret. The RSPB currently (in 2010) estimate that there are about 150 breeding pairs of these birds in the UK, with about 1,600 birds wintering, with the distribution mainly along the south and east coasts of England. To the photographer the number seems to be a gross underestimate, because they seem to be much commoner than that, while their distribution seems to be much more widespread to the extent that one would not be surprised to see one on any inland watercourse in south-eastern England any more.
Egrets are small herons and live on fish, and this one was feeding in the water before it was disturbed. The egret's presence here would also imply that the ditch is clean enough to support and sustain a healthy population of fish.

Boundary Ditch
The ditch does not seem to mark any modern administrative boundary, but it was an urban district boundary on older maps, Enfield to the north and probably Edmonton to the south.
