Adi and Paul partnered to pick Lewisham litter on dull, damp days. Adi was in Sydenham's Mayow Park, Paul in Deptford's Brookmill Park. In adddition to a black sack full of litter, Paul saw the early stages of courting rituals of both the herons and the Egyptian geese as wel, as a fleeting glimpse of a kingfisher.

Adi was in Sydenham's Mayow Park on dull and soggy morning today, The weather meant that it didn’t take that long to get the park litter free though.

Paul had litter picked a day earlier in cold sun along the Ravensbourne in Deptford’s Brookmill Park, river levels were a bit lower this week so he was able to get to areas that have been inaccessible for a couple of week so more litter picked than for a few weeks. There was lots of wildlife including herons, a kingfisher, lots of mallards, and several foxes - including a friendly one asleep in the sun. He got some positive feedback from a member of the park Friends group.

It was the usual double pronged attack on Lewisham this weekend. Adi enjoyed some glorious sun and colours whilst doing good in Mayow Park in Sydenham.

Paul was a day earlier and had Friday’s drizzle and leaden skies in Deptford’s Brookmill Park. About a bag for life’s worth of litter was collected along the river with an alpaca, which was placed by the playground for rehoming.

Lewisham’s litter picking duo, Adi and Paul, were in action again this weekend. Adi not finding too much Halloween and related rubbish in Sydenham’s Mayow Park but did find it looking attractive in its autumnal best.

Paul found lots of muddy rubbish brought down with recent high waters on the Ravensbourne in Deptford. A paddling of mallards was also seen.
