Rats in Sydenham Woods


Annette Curtain

Recommended Posts

Eeeeeekk...


We went for a walk in Sydenham Woods yesterday and it was lovely, as it often is this time of the year


There were the customary "Hello & how are you" and "Lovely day" exchanges. All very civilised it was.


However, we then met a man who asked my boys "Have you seen any Rats yet"


"RATS...where ?" Their faces all lit up


After a brief exchange we set off, eyes peeled. And blimey, there's a fair few up there. In the space of 40 minutes we saw half a dozen or so. Apparently the Fox population, which was previously quite high, has fallen and with it the Rats have grown in numbers


We mainly saw them around the high path, near the Dulwich Wood Crescent gate.


It was all a bit creepy (but my boys loved it)


Any other "wildlife" sightings up there ?http://www.opirgbrock.org/files/images/rat%20drawing.jpg

Is that still going on? If so i'll email Sainsburys, they seemed quite helpful last year or whenever it was that there were lots of sightings.


I have no idea why I seem to find it sort of acceptable for rats to be in Peckham Rye and Dulwich Park but not the Sainsburys mini park thing!

He's not I'm afraid. He didn't know about it, but your username expires when you get to 10,000 posts and he is no more I'm afraid. Never liked him anyway.

    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
    • > however I know I will have to prove it and provide a receipt,  both I can't provide. So what leads you to say that the dustmen have done damage to it?
