I was quietly walking along the road at around 8pm last night from the Lordship Lane end and a crow swooped down and clawed my head and then swooped at me several more times until I could get far enough away to be left alone. It was entirely unprovoked - I’m guessing they must be nesting along there. (I can see from the forum it happened to someone last year around this time too.) Be careful, their claws are sharp!

Happened to me around 8.30 on corner of Townley and Beauval last night too - it came from behind so i had no idea it was coming, luckily it didn't claw me, but swooped so low over my head I felt the swoosh of its wings. Pretty terrifying and I could see it perched on a chimney pot so was wary of it flying down again. Presume it was the same bird, felt like something out of Hitchcock.

Yes, this is true.  I used to feed the crows on Peckham Rye and once you feed them they never forget you and will appear almost instantly the next time you visit.   I follow an account on Instagram called Crows in a Park which follows crows in a central London Park.

Hi guys, I'm a journalist for Southwark News. I'm currently covering a story about the crow attacks in this location, to warn people to avoid/be careful in that area this time of year.

Would any of you who have been attacked be willing to be quoted for the article?

If so my email is [email protected]

Thanks in advance!

(Sorry, Malumbu)

"Dulwich, East London".

Lazy journalist (or incompetent sub editor) 

Btw, PGC, I admire your evenhandedness with recent links from both the Graun and the Fail 😂

      Uncomfortable high frequency noise on CP Road

      By Alec1 · Posted

      Had this problem a few years back.  I can hear high-pitched sounds easily.  I can't find my original post, but it was likely a faulty boiler cycling on and off as they do. It stopped not long after I posted!  Quick search on here pulled up lots of posts about similar.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/search/?q=boiler noise&quick=1

      Urgently looking for a good solicitor specialised in housing

      Do you think this is an illegal eviction and that the documents are not in order? You can get advice from Citizen's Advice or Shelter as well.  There is also a lot of advice on line - i.e. what the documents need to include for the landlord to evict the tenant.

      Urgently looking for a good solicitor specialised in housing

      By Etta Ermini · Posted

      Hello all, I am urgently looking for a solicitor who works in housing. I'd like to help my neighbours who have been waiting for a council flat for seven years. The council has forced them to rent privately and now the agency has send the eviction letter without any explanation. When they arrived in the UK they stayed in a flat for three months until they got evicted because the landlord wanted to sell. So this is the second time in seven years they have to find something else. They are a couple with two children. If you have recommendations for a good solicitor I'd be very grateful. They are very worried and don't speak English well enough to defend themselves. Thanks for your help!
