We had an exciting garden visitor this weekend. A redwing stopped by for an hour or two in the trees at the end of the garden.

Never had one visit before to my knowledge. Got me thinking that I've been lucky enough to see stacks of wildlife in SE23 over the past 5 years.

What have you spotted?

In our garden / nearby trees (most common at top, rarest at bottom):

Robin
Tits (coal / blue / blue / long tailed)
Blackbird
Pigeon
Crow
Parakeet
Magpie
Wood pigeon
Dunnock
Gull (not sure what type)
Fox
Great spotted woodpecker
Wren
Starling
Goldfinch
Jay
Sparrow
Turtle doves
Thrush
Common Toad
Bat
Heron

Plus lots of spiders and about a billion snails.

And others spotted within 2 roads of technically being in SE23 (eg. the River Pool walk down by the Bell Green Sainsbury's or in nearby woods):

Lots of ducks
Moorhen
Rat
Chaffinch
Dragonfly
Kingfisher
Egret
Warbler (Sedge I think?)
Kestrel
Frog
Tree creeper

Seen anything noteworthy in recent months? I heard Sydenham Woods had an owl move in just before Christmas...
