Ah yes it could have been, but it didn't seem to have those long crane fly legs!

Just seen a bird of prey in my very small garden after hearing wings flapping.


Not sure what it was, but it wasn't a Peregrine Falcon.


Buzzard?


It saw me through the window and flew off before I could get a photo.


Only the second time I've ever seen one in the garden. The last one got a starling, and I've never seen a starling in the garden since.


Hope the sparrows come back :(

My eagle-eyed partner spotted THREE goldfinches in a tree overlooking my garden yesterday!


Maybe the nigella seed I have been hopefully putting out for ages is finally attracting them ....


The sparrows haven't returned yet though - I can hear them twittering away in somebody else's garden :(

Keep going with the nigella seed Sue. We regularly get one goldfinch on every perch (6 in total) of our nigella feeder and over the summer had at least two families with young birds coming to feed. At one point there must have been 12 or more in the garden. I think they have become very common around here now.

    • A town square would be nice. Perhaps we could pedestrianise North cross Road and create a square with the junction of Lordship Lane. Can't imagine there would be any objections / controversy.  This is probably true, but the issue is not so much the level of the rent, but the degree to which it is sustainable in the context of the local market. The Landlords locally do seem to have squeezed rents to the point where places can no longer survive in many cases.
    • https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-14774205/Urgent-warning-opioid-deaths-Met-Police-pills-heroin-nightclubs.html?ito=email_share_article-top   I'm sharing this article to help to spread the word about these new deadly synthetic opioids called Nitazenes which are finding their way onto the drug scene.  Two more young lives lost last weekend in young people at a South London club.    Most people I talk to have never heard of Nitazenes which are being used as contaminants in a number of other drugs including sleeping pills like valium and Xanax, oxycodone but have also been found in vapes and sedative antihistamines and cocaine.  So people buying sleeping tablets and other substances have no idea of the risk they are taking.  This is a relatively new trend and the number of deaths is on the increase.  Do discuss it with your teenagers and young adult children and anyone you know tempted to purchase sleeping tablets online.  It really is a much more dangerous and potentially lethal time to buy tablets online or on the street and hopefully knowledge of Nitazenes can help people protect themselves.  This stuff is in London and no doubt, is already in Dulwich so do spread the word.     
    • The link is showing the real link to the East Dulwich Forum that Joe on here set up.  https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1DanoiLd48/?mibextid=wwXIfr East Dulwich Mums is my group and is not a spin off from this group. I have no connection to the other EDF Facebook group and nor do I promote any cleaning services. My group is very well run thank you and your information is incorrect.  No, that is the new Facebook group that the admin on here has set up.  Joe does need to turn the settings on that group to pre approval for all posts as there is a lot of posts on there that isn’t relevant.
