Walking across Clapham Common, there was what looked like a mobile hanging from a tree. In fact, it was a Mistle thrush hanging by it's neck from kite line or similar. I can only assume that the line was caught in the tree and the thrush got caught in the line. Macabre!
Another strange site is the 'bog eyed' cat in the neighbour hood. There is something wrong with the skin around it's left eye which gives it a circumspect appearance.
Birds: The two Whitethroats are still on the Ecology pond and the young woodpecker has left the nest. I've only seen the one. In the same bit of Cafe Wood there were also at least three young Nuthatches.
During a brief visit to Richmond Park (28th), I saw a Common tern, Mandarin duck and Red-crested and regular pochard on the Pen ponds. All three woodpeckers, a Kestrel and a Sparrowhawk being mobbed by parakeets...
