The usual Lewisham duo of Adi and Paul litter picked in different locations and different times in the borough. Adi was (presumably) in Mayow Park in Sydenham, Paul in Deptford's Brookmill Park whilst watching the young herons in trees above - they were joined by a distant cousin, an egret for a while. Foxes, coots, moorhen, mallards with lots of parakeets. Half a black bag's worth of rubbish was collected.

As is often the way Adi and Paul, plogged separately but together on different days and in different parts of Lewisham - Adi amongst the blossom of Mayow Park in Sydenham, Paul amongst the herons of Deptford's Brookmill Park.

The sun of the last few days seems to have led to a lot more litter being dropped - Adi found this in her early plog around Sydenham's Mayow Park, Paul found the same along the Ravensbourne in Brookmill Park, where he multi tasked, watching the young hersons. So a lot more collected than last week!

This week we were back to two of us - Adi was busy in a misty Mayow Park, finding a beautiful spider’s web in the process.

Paul was in sunny Deptford (it was the day before) litter picking along the Ravensbourne whilst watching the scruffy young herons in their nest and the sleepy foxes dozing in the sun.

Adi and Paul's weekly separate but together plogging in Lewisham, had out of borough help in the shape of Harvey from Ealing.

Adi left Mayow Park, wet, muddy but litter free this morning. Paul was a litter further south in Deptford's Bookmill Park watched by now nesting herons - young have been observed in the nest. Around half a black sack worth of litter was collected.
