Well, I say my field, but it belongs to all the residents in my block. The fig tree is in my garden though.

Jays do make baby noises - it is pretty creepy.

[gypsy_cream]

there was one that lived in an area i used to live in.... they are quite rare up here so it was nice to see it coming into the garden but at night the noises scared the shit out of me

[kams]

what bird was that on the pic JE:5??

[JE:5]

Boat-tailed grackle

well how leafy and continental is brixton?

[Orang Utan]

My little corner is very leafy - I live in a Georgian square - but it's not particularly representative of Brixton.

[Orang Utan]

I saw some in St James' Park - I nearly cried.

[hobo]

Traps

[hobo]

If they're born there, they'll come back every year.
