      We are in the South, near Staines on the SW edge of London. There is quite a large pocket of them in Twickenham, which is only a few miles away - I reckon these have simply spilled out as they have bred.

                      Morning everybody including birds .. A bright but with a bit of breeze. Very pleasant at the moment, Filled up another bird feeder and sawn up old bookshelves to make another frame.

                      Have a wonderful Wednesday.

                          Blimey, I am right in the middle! If you were to head from Hampton along past Kempton toward Staines, I am in an area of Ashford that sits just to the right hand side of Staines Road West near the big reservoirs.
