I'm stunned at the diversity of wildlife we have in LDN - including birds (which I know nothing about). I've downloaded Merlin Bird Id - this cool app records & identifies birdsong. merlin.allaboutbirds.org https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/05 May 2026 14:42 +0000at://did:plc:is3ksbgql4m36fjtz2rrsycy/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml4gburdq22phttps://bsky.app/profile/willnorman.co.uk/post/3mkzoe7gs5c2nThis morning’s walk was through the Walthamstow Marshes - an eg of London’s once widespread floodplain grasslands. From Saxon times until into the 20th century, it was used as “Lammas land”, a place for local people to cut hay and graze their livestock. #LondonWalkingFestival04 May 2026 12:29 +0000at://did:plc:is3ksbgql4m36fjtz2rrsycy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkzoe7gs5c2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/willnorman.co.uk/post/3mkzf7s4gq22nLovely Sunday morning walk in Epping Forest with friends - easily accessible from the Central Line.

With petrol getting more and more expensive, is it time to think about getting one? Yes, says TV's Dr Chris Van Tulleken, it can save thousands. And it's good for our health & environment.
