I had a pair of long tailed tits in my garden in North Cross Road a month or so ago, the first I?ve ever seen there.

Hey Sue, I'm off ED Grove quite close to Greendale. I'm seeing the long-tail tits more often then I used to. They are so cute!

I have seen a greenfinch down Greendale but they don't venture over the road. We are lucky to have so many birds in this area.

My cat got a goldfinch the other day, he's in the doghouse...

I live near North Cross Road, so I shall live in hope that some venture into my garden (and that I happen to see them!)


Do you put out bird food? I have a seed feeder and a suet ball feeder, plus Niger seed (I've never seen a goldfinch here, but my partner has).


Wondering if there's anything in particular which might attract long tailed tits?

Somebody elsewhere, possibly Facebook, confirmed it was a cormorant.


I quite often see them on the Thames, never in Peckham though :)

No i don?t put any birdseed out but I?m a pretty sloppy gardener which means there?s usually quite a few plant based titbits, and the insects they attract for the birds to enjoy. The birds will be coming soon to forage for all the little twigs and stalks I haven?t bothered to clear away for them to build their nests. The best year was when a pair of magpies spent a lot of time strutting around the lawn, collecting uncut and decomposing cuttings for them to use as mortar for their nests. The long tailed tits made themselves at home on my viburnum bush.

I'd love some if you can spare it (and if I can find a way to stop birds/cats eating it!)


I'll PM you!

      Bitey Fox.

      How do you know what the fox wanted to do if it didn’t do it.

      Quote "it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me." Doesn't say clearly that it tried to bite you , but instead implies that you had the impression, right or wrong that it wanted to nip you.  unless you are clear others will read it how you write it.  As for being a jobsworth, what a quaint old expression, haven't heard that for a long while.

      Attempted car theft - Underhill

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Crook locks can be sawn through, or the steering wheel to which it is attached, I know to my own cost. The safest additional security measure is what's called a ghost immobiliser, which cannot be traced through the car's electronics, meaning it is difficult to bypass. They cost a bomb however.

      Thieves on electric bike around East Dulwich

      By march46 · Posted

      I’ve reported two instances of mobile phone theft to 999 in recent times. On both occasions several police units have arrived very quickly - in one case they found the perpetrator.
