The one I saw was on Friday approx 5pm heading along Bellenden Rd. It crossed the road in front of me and trotted along by the playground at The Academy at Peckham school towards Highshore Rd. It didn't seem bothered and even did a couple of left and right checks before it crossed.
I saw this chap outside the cafe in the park on Friday but a friend took a picture of one three years ago on Underhill road so not just new sightings ! I'm glad to see a female locally but as said before these birds are country birds and not city dwellers so how did they get here when their flight is not strong ?

Louisa is right. Except the pheasants are adopting us, like cats did 12,000 years ago. Feed them, they will make loyal and beautiful companions. I know someone to whom a pheasant comes each evening for a handful of grain. Gain to both.


However, avoid peacocks: they are an evolutionary cul de sac (fine if you have a 1000 acre estate, not otherwise).

    • 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!
