In Peckham Rye Park ths afternoon and counted 6 coot chicks. Three "singles" each with a parent, and a trio of younger ones being sort-of supervised by a clearly harassed mother! I suppose there'll be the usual mortality rate there...


Of more interest was the island in the Japanese garden....two turtles head to head, courting perhaps? B) or whatever it is they do....I think she was shy and he was trying to get her to come out of her shell a bit....:))

Early this morning there was a duckling stranded in the wire netting around the edge of lake he was even trying to climb up it . He was getting stressed and so was his mother ,a young schoolboy who walks his dog with his Mum managed to rescue him and put him back in the lake .This youngster loves the ducks and was thrilled he was able to to help.It made my day.

Help! I have a very tiny garden which at the moment seems to be filled with a swarm of very tiny flying things - midges?


Every day they are there swarming around the middle of the very tiny garden.


I thought midges were attracted to water. I don't have a pond. Should I not have put water out for the birds?


:-$

I had a lot of mosquitos (gnats we called them) flying up and down in a column, every time I opened the door or window they invaded the place and I suffered bites. I then discovered an old spray can of 'Raid' and gave the column a blast came in and closed the door before the house stank. The next night another column appeared although now depleted, another quick blast from the can and now they are all gone, so now I can open the door or window without the risk of being chewed on, Hooray!

Since I was wearing my wellies, I just did a stream walk. Great fun pretending to be a kid when noone else around!


Think I saw marsh buttercups along the sides. At any rate, the flower head looks like a buttercup but it's a much larger plant than common buttercups.

      Sue, Southbank in London  - you must know this and I don’t need to spell it out to you - must be having brain fog…. Libra I believe piggy backs off Three. if you go on ID website, you can see numerous people complaint about service anyway it is a dead subject now as I am leaving them having been with them for over 7 years

      Southwark consultation on Peckham gyratory

      By Rockets · Posted

      You said cycling was lovely because private schools are off. They’re not. You’re wrong. You are clearly trying to lean in to that ludicrous claim that private schools are the sole reason for traffic issues in the area.  Do some fact checking…..

      Southwark consultation on Peckham gyratory

      By malumbu · Posted

      I don't understand why you need to challenge what I am reporting, what I have witnessed with my own eyes, not what I have seen on line, or what I perceive to support your entrenched views.  I have cycled most days of this week.  The roads are quieter.  I expect that Dulwich College, Dulwich Prep, and Rosemead are off.  Have a cycle in the area tomorrow during school drop off times and then give me your views.  I've not cycled on Townley so can't can't comment on  JAGS and Alleyn's.  The Village was quiet too. Let's face it you have nothing substantial to say.  From my perspective you resort to snide comments.

      Actually that's interesting. I have had the occasional call cut off, but I thought I must be leaning on something on my phone by mistake. It never occurred to me it was anything to do with iD! But I've never had problems connecting in the first place, anywhere in London (or anywhere else). Maybe I've just been lucky. The only problem I've ever had with iD/3 was quite a long time ago when the whole of the network suddenly went down for a while. I can't remember how long for. Where is Southbank way? Is that where you live, or do you mean you were writing that post while near the Southbank? What network do Libra piggyback on?
