There's a little flock of stock doves around JAGS playing fields and the railway lines between East amd North Dulwich. They're like a posh version of the feral/London pigeon :-)


There are also loads of redwings and fieldfares ? and blackbirds, thrushes and more ? coming in from Scandinavia and eastern Europe at the moment. Because of the strong cold north-easterlies, they're heading our way looking for food ? in mild years, they'd be going in the opposite direction.

There were 70 redwings (and a few fieldfares) on the fenced off field next to the Green Dale path yesterday afternoon. Reports of large numbers elsewhere nearby:

Dulwich Park: 80 Redwing, 3 Fieldfare

Belair Park: 85 Redwing, 10 Fieldfare

Gallery Rd playing fields: 20 Redwing, 80 Fieldfare

I don't know if this is the right thread but...

I have a robin nesting in the peg bag for my clothes line, I'm happy to leave it there for the time being (until the chicks have fledged) but would appreciate any advice for when to move it on to minimize disturbance for the bird. Hopefully the answer isn't leave it til the end of summer.

The fledglings will leave the nest approximately 2-3 weeks after hatching, once they're gone the parents will abandon the nest too and you can move it. Envy you, should be fun watching them!

Thanks. I?ll keep an eye on the nest and remove it when they?ve gone. They are fun to watch, although it will be nice to be able to get into my shed without a robin flying at my head!


The best isn?t oriented in a good direction for a web cam. I?m putting up some nest boxes and may try to wire them up for later in the year.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By FellbriggSam · Posted

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.

      I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
