There were over 100 parakeets gathering in a small row of trees in Danson Park at dusk. That's a lot of noise.

Changed a bit since I was there. Mind, the narrow end used to be a marshy paradise for kids fishing for stickleback & frogspawn, then they tidied it up.

I remember Danson Park when it had an outdoor swimming pool.

You mean it's gone? Hope the rowing boats are still there.

I lived in Faraday Road & went to Hook Lane school.

I was in Hook Lane primary school today, picking up my elder granddaughter. They have some kind of nature thing going in there with an apiary and a butterfly house. Isabella saw a butterfly today, she said. But I'm more certain about the one I saw there a couple of weeks ago - I even posted about it on here. The school appears to have 3 houses named after scientists: Faraday, Darwin and Maxwell. Some good scientists there. But no place to lock bikes up in there, so it's not all good.

And the narrow end of the lake where it turns into a very slow-flowing brook has reverted to marshiness and almost stagnant water so maybe the frogs are back. I'll investigate with Bella.
 
Morning. Oooh! Grey and drizzle for a change.
