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.

    • Can you just queue up to withdraw cash or are other transactions like stamp purchasing required?  Do M&S do cash back?
    • Or don't stop using cash. Stop using your phone or even your watch as a banknote. At the same time avoid the risk of having your card cloned at cash points, by hand held card readers, oyster readers and point-of sale terminals to name a few. God only knows how much damage we're doing to the planet because all the above must require a hell of a lot of resources and juice from the grid. It won't happen though. I know of quite a few people who deem carrying cash about as a pain/ chore. But not a big lump of plastic with a screen and full of personal information that can be easily gleamed. I feel the same about carrying a phone about so i don't most of the time. I'll be in the minority but certainly don't see or treat a phone as a necessity.  You can't get a banknote out of your sky rocket with a phone in your hand. It's become a source of dopamine for many. It's an addiction for many. They're an easy target for thieves. They're a godsend to cyber fraudsters who are stealing billions and are doing so without the need of cash points.

    • I have a vague memory that the bird was called snowball
