The Warren, Bexleyheath.Not a great deal is heard within the Bexley 'wildlife community' about this site, not far south of the Broadway. Only a small area up on a hill above the A2/River Shuttle valley, but a nice patch of woodland with a decent bird list. Purple Hairstreak butterflies on the Oak trees.Have just received a link to this post showing a nesting Great Spotted Woodpecker and young here, which alerted us to the Friends of the Warren Facebook page, which we hadn't been aware of before.

Friends of the Cray at Crayford - this Friday 17th MayMeet 10am where Footpath 106 meets Barnes Cray Road (see graphic below).I am hoping we can get a particular section of undergrowth cut down so it you have leather gloves that can withstand brambles it is worth bringing them in case!

ERITH SWIFTS First visit of year to Stuart Mantle Way, Slade Green/Erith, Swift nesting site, 10th May.Air bricks used for access to lo-rise blocks of flats (circled yellow) including end section of Londonderry Parade of homes/shops, which I'd not seen used before.14 birds, exactly the same number as on my fist 2023 count here, which was made on 7th May.Plenty more apparent access points than pairs of birds, unless quite a few cavities are unsuitable in some way, so on the face of it, something else may be limiting colony size.Buglife's latest car number plate invert spatter count data isn't good news for 'bug' eating species.Chis Rose. ...
