The injured goose could not be returned due to be considered an invasive species. He had to stay with the wildlife rescue. Whether it's the same female breeding with another male now, or a different pair, who knows. I have photos from a very similar time last year (see attached from 1 Feb 2024) and the year before, as the Egyptian geese always surprise me with their earliness, but all (most?) of the goslings made it to adulthood last year, so it's a strategy that works for them.

Yes, I'm aware of that. I believe the brood was five to begin with. However they are almost adult size now so not the prey of rats any longer.

Worried as only two Egyptian goslings at the pond this evening. Both parents in attendance. The three of them were looking very healthy this morning. Did anyone see anything?

You can request for them to come and collect your full bins again https://forms.southwark.gov.uk/ShowForm.asp?fm_fid=1879 They usually come on whatever day your rubbish/recycling collection day is. If you aren't going to be in, leave them somewhere that they can find it. If you don't need replacements, just leave a note on the full ones that a replacement isn't needed. They usually come quite early, so it's better to leave them outside if you can.

Thank you very much. I've not seen any ads for animals since you've done this. 🙂

Hi, the rules of the forum do not allow for the giving away or selling of animals. Several times I have been served Google ads from dog breeders. I've not set up google ads before, so I'm not sure how easy it is to restrict them from displaying this kind of ad on the forum, but if possible please do so. I've been reporting them as inappropriate whenever I've seen them. Thank you!

Your evidence is very clear. Thanks. They were still packing up in the opposite corner, so hopefully they'll have more litter pickers out today.

We took our dog for a walk there today and the litter situation is much better than you describe. We didn't spot any of the things you mention, so I assume they have had a really good clean up. Obviously there's lots of damaged grass, but at least it's safe now.

Not useful on its own, but we have one that you can borrow. We use it our allotment, useful as a boot scraper. If you can find another?

Peter did some work for us too earlier this year - front path and front garden. As well as completing the work to a great standard, he was on time, tidy, polite and reasonably priced. I would recommend him!

I remember seeing them on the Gardens bus stop shelter. I haven't seen them for a while.

According to https://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/mgFindMember.aspx?XXR=0&AC=POSTCODE&sPC=SE21%207AB it's in the Dulwich Village ward so Richard Leeming and Margy Newens

My other half had his first AZ jab on Friday, he had a headache and fatigue, and ached all over, especially on Saturday, but is feeling fine today.

Their vans must be being followed? Our box was more carefully hidden this morning, so Oddbox must be aware?

I work in Kent. Kent CC have gone for the attached approach, saying that it has a greater effect, rather than the negative insults of the NZ poster shown above. (Don't know if it does, the park close to my office still has obvious litter problems after a sunny weekend.) There was a discussion about this in one of the local Facebook groups, and there were loads of people saying that we pay our council tax for the council to clean up the parks, and there should be more bins, completely rejecting any suggestion that people should take their rubbish home if the bins are full. I just don't get it.

I regularly (at least once/daily) use the Reset new posts button after reading in here that it helps with the speed of the forum. Every now and then, something seems to go wrong with that and the number of new threads & posts jumps up - as in attached pic. I haven't blocked cookies and the ad blocker is turned off for the forum. It's not a big deal, but thought I'd bring it to admin's attention. Cheers
