You beat me to it Michael
Good one!
hi
If anyone has lost their large brown pheasant, it has been in HOP since Wednesday and has now taken up residence in my bemused neighbour's garden.
It is looking a bit bedraggled but hopefully managing to find something to eat from the grass.
Another pheasant spotted close to Derby Hill today.
Well remembered, Michael. And what a spot!
I wonder if that is the same one spotted at the junction of Brockley road and the south circ. A couple of months ago?
Could also be the same one spotted off Forest Hill Road recently. Then again, there could be more than one - birds of a feather...
I'm sure I heard a parrot jabbering away by the school last week on Sunderland Rd. Not the normal screech of those parakeets, but distinctive.
Perhaps there is a bird enthusiast nearby.
There is, or was, an African Grey nesting in a property just off the London Road and Waldenshaw Road a few years back so quite possible.
Neighbours reported hearing an owl last night!
