....that's what I tend to call the area around Fairlawn Road and the top of St Andrews Road. Anyway I had a quick look around this morning and heard a
Coal Tit singing near Hurlingham Road. A
Speckled Wood butterfly was nearby. At the junction of St Andrews Road and Cromwell Road the verge had lots of what I have identified as
Beaked Hawksbeard (but hawkweeds are not my speciality) and some
Michaelmas Daisies. Halfway down St Andrews Road some
Lady's Bedstraw persists on a front lawn - this has been growing at this location for many years but it is otherwise a scarce plant in urban areas, preferring calcareous grassland. One or two
Large White were also seen nearby.
