Non human visitors & residents of SE23

I don’t dislike then, but the Fox family near me is very noisy at night.

I have been hoping to see a stag beetle, but no luck. Instead, last night I found on my window ledge an alarming wasp-like insect of significant proportions. Horrid.

Can we have a “maximum six legs per creature” rule on photographs, here, please?

Have their been many sightings of Parakeets recently? I was wondering the other day as often used to see them in the garden but havent for many months.

I saw a flock of green birds flying across the street ahead of me on Devonshire Road the other day. I’m pretty sure they were parakeets but did not get a long enough look to be certain.

@LukeSlatford … I’m sure there are thousands in your garden. Closest Forest Hill has to their natural environment.

Seen a few down our end recently.

I prefer to keep things wildlife friendly and reduce carbon!

Cool - will keep an extra keen eye out when working from home tomorrow!

Yes, they congregate there every evening and fly off in a reasonable size flock, having a good squawk as they go.

Popped into the back garden at Dusk to have a quick look around and saw what Inthinknis a smooth newt in our bucket pond - very happy with that as not seen once since we filled in our ‘proper pond’. His larger cousin seemed less than impressed however! Amazing how little water you need to attract some wildlife.

Spotted a fox out and about tonight - was getting a bit dark but good to see such a healthy one.
