I think they advise leaving crawl spaces under fences for hedgies, who can't climb over fences in the way that foxes can.


I also hear that hedgehogs cover vast areas every evening when they hunt for food, so the chopping up of land into gardens and the building of roads is not helpful for them - a bit like how the Enclosure Act did for the British peasant, I suppose

Deffo time to curl up for winter for me too :))


Seriously, if you're having a bonfire, eg for 5 November, please make sure there are no hibernating hedgehogs (or any other creatures) in there before you light it :(

No such sights like this down in ED. nor the owls, woodpeckers, jays and peacock.

My OH saw a jay whilst waiting at ED Station earlier this year :)


And I once saw a greater spotted woodpecker in the land between Dulwich Hospital and the railway line :)

      Fireworks

      By Insuflo · Posted

      The amount of fireworks noise over a wide area last night couldn’t have just been teenagers messing around. I’m presuming that St. Andrew’s Day (or the eve of) has now been added the ever lengthening list of dates that some people feel need to be marked with ordnance. It doesn’t really matter whether the police or council is responsible for enforcement; if the launch site or the person lighting the touch-paper can’t be identified, how are they supposed to do anything? The only solution is to end the sale of fireworks to the public, which the Fire Brigades Union has lobbied for for decades. All governments since the ‘70s have resisted this. Otherwise, pressure local councils to withhold licenses to retailers. More regulation not less, which goes against the mantra of both Labour and Tories. I personally don’t give business to some local newsagents, who now spend a quarter of the year promoting the sale of fireworks.

      Hole saw to borrow

      Hi, Is the worktop timber?  I may have one, I need to check sizes later today.  Would a spade bit do or do you specifically want a hole saw?

      But isn’t that massive construction effort the prerequisite to solve the housing problems?  or is there another way?
