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 :)

    • Defo, where are you based so I can collect?
    • There is no other way than to move out. I am in such a situation myself where our neighbours are complete assholes. They breached the Covenants and when we pointed it they said to take them to court if we want.  Unfortunately, they have made our life miserable and we have to move out.    What helped in our situation is having a calm conversation face to face. It only happened after they tasted their own medicine(i know it's mean but nothing else helps).   I know it's unfair but better move out and prioritise your mental health. 
    • Thank you so much for the reply. Jeffery turned up a couple of hours ago. I edited title to say found but somehow it didn't save. Thank you so much for going to the trouble of posting this sighting... even if it didn't turn out to be Jeff.  Jeff came running down the street like a bat out of hell and ran into the house. Never been so relieved. Mind you i've been up and down the roads shouting his name out all day. Even in Wingfield street. 🤗
    • I saw a smallish black cat outside 1 Wingfield Street just now.  I am not convinced it was Jeff, the eyes look a little different.
