Mabaker

I get foxes in my garden all year round. Can't say I've ever been able to smell them. I do get rubbish dumped by the side of my house and other annoyances. None of them made by foxes.

No. Foxes have a right to a life

I've just come across a dead fox while walking up Donkey Alley. (Poor thing) . I've done a report to the Council to have it removed so no need for anyone else to.

I've also been here for thirty years and find it a peaceful place to live most of the time, so found the early comments rather unhelpful. There's nothing wrong in asking a legitimate question because it is unusual to see vans of riot police on the streets. Still can't answer the question though

I did see a black and white cat running into the garden corner of Barry Road and Friern Road around 1.30 this pm. I didn't get the impression that it was injured. Just posting to help with elimination of possible cats.

Our postman comes about once a fortnight. Parcels never arrive on time. I now check before I buy anything online. If they use Royal Mail, I don't buy it. I know it won't arrive, no matter what delivery time is promised. There used to be a councillor on this forum who would check posts and take up causes, James? It's a shame that we no longer have any councillors looking out for us.

I saw a couple of bats up Dawson's Heights. Dust as dusk is arriving. It made my day. I think I might buy a bat detector

Sorry. That's not the dog. The dog I saw was brown. Not good on identifying breeds. Can anyone else who saw the dog help with identifying the breed? No updates yet either.

Thanks for bringing him food Angelina. I would have tried getting him to vets but honestly couldn't get anywhere near him. He didn't have a lead at the time.

Yes. Just spoke to the police myself. Very nice man. I can see the dog is calmer now. Policeman said they will stay with it and it will be assessed. They said it may end up at Battersea

Probably not a staffy so not meaning to malign the breed. I hope it gets the help it needs. I can still hear barking so suspect it's still there waiting with the police. Maybe someone who knows about dogs can identify the breed

Please be careful walking through Dawson Heights near Donkey Alley. There is a dog there. Could be staffy. It just went for me. My son is calling the police Update. Son has moved dog to Dunstan's Rd and police are on their way. Further update. Police now on scene. Dog went for them so they're calling in a special dog unit. My son suspects that this poor dog has been badly treated because it had marks on It's face. Also, it was exercising its jaws on a swing rope when my son found it so clearly trained to be aggressive .Not an expert on dog breads but it did have a big head. Might be a banned breed.

Can the service get any worse? I'm still waiting for my first class posted plants that were sent out seven days ago. No doubt I will eventually get them......dead! I thought I would try going to the sorting office to ask them to look. It is closed during the day between 10 and 4. How I long for the days when I could just go to Silvester Rd, more or less any time.

I saw a stag beetle in my garden yesterday. This is very good news because stags are now classed as endangered and in decline. Please consider putting a wood pile in your garden if you have the space. You can register your woodpile, complete with photo of your creation on the People's Trust for Endangered Species website. You can also record and photograph any stags you come across under their Great British Stag Hunt category. Happy hunting!

Do you feel brave enough to knock on the door and see what the occupier has to say about it? You could point out that there is a jay on the guttering and work out from their answer if they happen to have anything to do with this poor creature's demise

https://www.local.gov.uk/case-studies/southwark-council-reduced-mowing-support-local-nature Can't understand why Southwark Council pretend to be supporting no mow May and then go and do the exact opposite. There is no excuse for their behaviour

For the first time in a while I heard a woodpecker yesterday morning in Dunstan's Heights, drilling away. It's very hard to work out where exactly it's located.

I've just walked down Barry Rd towards Goodrich and passed what I would describe as a stream flowing down the road. Water gushing everywhere. Not a work person in sight. What is going on with this water leak?

I think Nigello means roughly whereabouts in Dulwich

My sympathies Loki. I don't blame the workers. Accountability starts at the top and just like other services, this government seems intent on running the service into the ground. Meanwhile the rest of us suffer terrible service. It's almost impossible to complain by phone. I hope they settle soon and you get decent conditions of employment for all our sakes.

Even tracked post is not getting here. Two of my parcels have not arrived. On both occasions the tracker says missed delivery and card put through door. Not true on both cases. No card has ever been put through my door. To add insult to injury, they ask for you to take the card in order to get it from the sorting office, that's if it is even there. Try phoning up and it's a 40 minute wait on the phone.

I walked down Donkey Alley about lunchtime this morning and saw two council workers peering through a hole in the fence where the barking dog is. They told me that they were from the noise nuisance team and had received complaints about the barking. The dog at this time was proving the point by barking for England. I confirmed to them that yes, the dog barks a lot, even when I'm walking past at night. So anyway, looks like they're taking it seriously.

I'm in SE22 and my microwave from John Lewis was dispatched and out for deliver last month but never arrived despite being tracked. RM checked with the local sorting office who never replied to explain where it went. RM told me to complain to JL . So I'm not happy with RM at all and especially not Peckham sorting office.

I'm noticing that some deciduous trees , like sycamores still have their leaves. Some are even still green. I'm sure they're usually bare at this time of year, or am I misremembering?
