As usual, Lewisham duo Adi and Paul picked litter in separate parks on different days. Adi was in Mayow Park in Sydenham today (Saturday) which was messy after heavy park usage yesterday. Paul found a dustpan and brush in the bushes by the Ravensbourne in Deptford's Brookmill Park, plus a fair amount of other rubbish. For those wanting an update on the herons, the 2025 young are flying and there seems to have been a return of the surviving young from 2024.

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!
