We had a bird fly into the back door and knock himself out. Looked like a gonner, but after a couple of minutes he was lying on his side shaking, then fifteen minutes later he was moving around a little near the wall of the house, and finally he took off.


Carp may also see off any frogs BTW.

There were 2 ducklings at 7am this morning but only 1 an hour later !:(

Notonecta glauca - waterboatman on stream to left of oval by the main gates


100s of Minnows (I think) and one moorhen chick in Japanese Garden lake


9 new ducklings on big lake


And several unusual bugs in the meadow parts wot I can't identify.


Quite a few previously unseen roustabouts on the common.

Evening nature lovers! I haven't been to Rye park for ages and it sounds like there's loads going on nature wise so I must have a look. I thought the Kingfisher was a wind up but obviously not!


Anyway, I saw this on a leaflet and thought it might be of interest to some of you. It's an eveing tour of the 'Medicine Garden' at the Horniman, another place I haven't been to for a while.

I had one in my garden last year, it sat on the ground in the corner with its claws in a starling. I only saw it because the poor starling was making such a racket and I went to see what was going on. It was practically as big as my garden :)

    • Electrical work can be dangerous, and hiring an unqualified individual can put you and your family at risk. and negate your insurance. A qualified electrician has the training and experience to safely handle any electrical issues, reducing the likelihood of accidents or injuries. With the exception of simple tasks, it is illegal for anyone other than a licensed electrician to perform electrical work. Hiring a qualified electrician ensures that the work is done in compliance with local laws and building codes. Some electricians are being recommended on EDF but here is no indication that they registered with NICEIC or NAPIT.  One is well advised to steer clear of Check-a-Trade which is a marketing service funded by subscription.
