This patch of land belongs to @sainsburys. Full of litter at most times, it is occasionally cut back, but check out those Oxeyes! #wildflowers #se26 #sydenham #bellgreen

Continuing with our series of #BlueTitBits. While the breeding season usually starts the 3rd wk of April, we discovered ours end March - ahead of schedule! This trend is likely due to climate change. Earlier leaves = more caterpillars (their favourite snack!) = earlier nesting.

An expert guide to food in Sydenham by Mystic Burek’s Spasia Dinkovski
Mystic Burek is one of our favourite places to eat in London. We love their Macedonian filo pies so much that we added the cosy cafe to our 2024 list of the Best Restaurants in London, and we’re very, very excited by the fact that chef and founder Spasia Dinkovski has written a book celebrating the brilliant Balkan food she serves there. ‘Doma’ is out now, and features trad-inspired recipes for everything from pickles and salads to the oozy pastries she serves at her sweet spot in south London. Here are the local Sydenham restaurants, caffs, pubs and bars Spasia rates.

A selection of vapes recovered from the streets. Little known 'fact': Vapes contain Littotine, which can trick some users into believing that pavements and green spaces are bins. #mindtricks #se26 #sydenham #bellgreen #litter #rubbish #vapes

We've discovered Blue Tits nesting in an unsafe Ash tree by Dino lake. While we wait to fell it, let’s get to know these azure avians. There are approx. 3.6 million pairs in the UK ⬆️ 29% v 50 yrs ago. The good news is that Blue Tits seldom move far from where they are hatched🪺
