As i left my house in the morning, it was there again. i actually got a better look at it. It wasn't a Red Admiral but something that looked like a Painted Lady http://http//1.bp.blogspot.com/_KKOjBo6EGMg/SdpgT80p-rI/AAAAAAAACSk/6qOHxRJ_3Cs/s320/painted-lady-butterfly.jpg i'm not 100% though.

Saw four carp in the lake today, all at least a foot long. Have these always been there? I have never seen them before and wonder how they survived the heron and the fish-poachers...


Still no sign of the Japanese garden bridge being fixed despite being told previously they were hoping to do it last month...

The foxes are getting as bold as brass.


Last month I reported one here that was almost challenging me on Court Lane.


Last week I saw a particularly fine example preening itself in the middle of my neighbour's back lawn in brilliant sunshine at 11 a.m. Like he owned the place.


They just don't care, do they?

This is going to sound odd, but I think I saw a Merlin today on the Rye in the far SE corner. It kept going into the scrub - don't know what it was feeding on. Is it likely that one could be in London? Pretty sure it wasn't a sparrowhawk.

Rumours of brock sightings on the Rye:


"What are you always nagging for?" inquired the Badger rather peevishly. "What's the matter with his English? It's the same what I use myself, and if it's good enough for me, it ought to be good enough for you!"

I expect the parakeets in our local parks would taste of leftover cheese sandwich and maize-based snacks. So you'd probably want something quite spicy to perk that up a bit.


Or else roast, and then serve as part of a cold collation with some pickles and sweet young lettuce.

      Male wrens build multiple nests to attract a mate, so don't worry if you see a nest built which isn't used. Doesn't mean the wren is dead, just that the jenny wren was picky.

      Thanks, I had googled!    There is loads of info online, but I just wondered if anyone locally had more specific knowledge. It looks like it's probably too early for it to nest, but nevertheless I don't want to drive it away, as I like having birds in my garden!

      I've just seen a wren in my garden ❤️ I haven't seen one there for years, though of course it may have been there, just hiding. Unfortunately it seems I may  have left it too late to cut back my thug of a Holboellia. I just googled (re the wren, not the Holboellia)  but I'm still unsure. I don't want to drive the wren away if it's about to build a nest in there (or has one already). Can anyone who knows more about wrens than me advise? Also, as the Holboellia flowers have a wonderful scent later on, I probably should have cut it back after it flowered last year 🙄
