Steve T,

With regard to your earlier post, are there pike in the big lake on PR?


I'm genuinely interested.


I've seen a fair few rats, both water rats and the normal kind, but was not aware of pike. How thrilling if there was a huge, ancient pike (not to mention wild cats) that lived on the Rye.

Little to tell. A little quirk of mine, I like to look at it most days and see how accurate it is. There is a squiggly graph at the bottom which tells you how much time to add or subtract depending on the month.


Using the graph, it was pretty accurate until the clocks went forward. Now it's way out, man.

I seem to have two teeny tiny birds living in a teeny tiny hole in the brickwork next to a large window sill.


They flew so fast in and out that I could see nothing except that they were tiny and perhaps brown with a white flash on the front. Will have to investigate.

One of the things about wrens is that they have very thin beaks, which are quite long in relation to their tiny bodies, or always look that way to me.


Also "rounder" bodies than pied wagtails I think.


And I think they are completely brown, not with a white flash anywhere.


But I don't have the energy to look up my bird book :)


I love wrens, had one who used to be about my (very small) garden a lot a few years back.

To me the distinctive things about wrens is that they are remarkably tiny in comparison with other small birds, and their bodies are very deep, if that's the right way of putting it - very round bodies, as Sue said.


Pied wagtails are black and white and not so small, so perhaps not?


Anyway, here are some pics

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by 'groves' (Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
