Heard the blackbirds causing a proper commotion in the back garden, when i went out to investigate, i saw through the trees a bird of prey eating some little bird. Anyone any ideas what the the bird is? (not the one being eaten) Please see attached photos (excuse the quality, it's not the best lens) I can't believe it.. A back garden in busy South London! ps tried to upload the original shots but they were too large apparently, so i've had to reduce the quality even further to get them on.. I hope they're OK.

I've seen Red Kites floating above the M40 just outside London and before the M25 and all the way up to Oxford, but i've never seen a bird of prey in central London.. I did hear however that Westminster Council introduced Kestrals (or Sparrowhawks, can't remember which..) in Trafalger Square and other parts of central London to deter the pigeons..

Anyway, needless to say, it absolutely made my day!

I went to the Cotswolds recently and was amazed at the birds of prey above the M40, there was loads of them and they looked fabulous, thanks for letting me know what they were:)

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
