Hi, I'm just after an update.


I visit ED every couple of weeks, and leaving tonight at about 7pm on Crystal Palace Road I was forced to stop the car because of a large, very confused duck or goose walking around in the road. It didn't seem to want to take off, perhaps because of the fog and the dark.


A couple who were passing on foot also stopped in concern, and said they couldn't leave it there, and assured me they would call the RSPB or someone appropriate locally.


If they're reading this, can they update me on what happened to the poor thing? Most London traffic I get stuck behind doesn't have feathers!


Thanks-

Serena

A relative of ours once had a swan 'stuck' in their garden and called a rescue organisation to collect it. They did and said it was common for swans, geese and other big water-birds to get stuck in gardens, confined spaces etc as they need a huge area for take off.

      Anyone else love Dulwich...

      All the parents looking after their kids instead of skiving from their meaningless desk jobs might mean it's quieter on here. Still, at least it gives free rein to the bad-tempered, long-winded pensioners that begin their posts "having resided in Dulwich for a not inconsiderable number of decades, may I be so bold as to suggest..." 😉

      Sternhall Lane Surgery

      By EastDulwicher · Posted

      We have been patients at Sternhall Lane for years. Our experience has generally been incredibly positive with speedy responses and very helpful staff. We are generally fortunate to get a same day appointment should we really need one either at Sternhall Lane or at Tessa Jowell and any necessary referalls have been swift.

      Set of keys found in Peckham Rye

      @Alice if left might have been stolen/taken by someone (peed on by a dog or fox), also there are some little things attached of - I assume - sentimental value. I hope the owner can claim them. Will leave a note indeed with info how to retrieve them, though not with a private phone number in a public space 😅 Maybe a friend of a friend will come across this post on EDF.  @embob97 They do have a ring, sorry.
