In Peckham Rye Park ths afternoon and counted 6 coot chicks. Three "singles" each with a parent, and a trio of younger ones being sort-of supervised by a clearly harassed mother! I suppose there'll be the usual mortality rate there...


Of more interest was the island in the Japanese garden....two turtles head to head, courting perhaps? B) or whatever it is they do....I think she was shy and he was trying to get her to come out of her shell a bit....:))

Early this morning there was a duckling stranded in the wire netting around the edge of lake he was even trying to climb up it . He was getting stressed and so was his mother ,a young schoolboy who walks his dog with his Mum managed to rescue him and put him back in the lake .This youngster loves the ducks and was thrilled he was able to to help.It made my day.

Help! I have a very tiny garden which at the moment seems to be filled with a swarm of very tiny flying things - midges?


Every day they are there swarming around the middle of the very tiny garden.


I thought midges were attracted to water. I don't have a pond. Should I not have put water out for the birds?


:-$

I had a lot of mosquitos (gnats we called them) flying up and down in a column, every time I opened the door or window they invaded the place and I suffered bites. I then discovered an old spray can of 'Raid' and gave the column a blast came in and closed the door before the house stank. The next night another column appeared although now depleted, another quick blast from the can and now they are all gone, so now I can open the door or window without the risk of being chewed on, Hooray!

Since I was wearing my wellies, I just did a stream walk. Great fun pretending to be a kid when noone else around!


Think I saw marsh buttercups along the sides. At any rate, the flower head looks like a buttercup but it's a much larger plant than common buttercups.

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.

      does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
