Kinveachy Gardens, LONDON, SE7 8EJ

The land now taken up by Maryon Wilson Park was once part of the Hanging Wood which originally stretched from Woolwich Common to Charlton and which provided shelter for the highwaymen of Shooters Hill and Blackheath. Samuel Pepys often told of his dread of Hanging Wood when he was obliged to travel to Woolwich. Although still woodland it is rather more peaceful nowadays. In the lower part of the park are animal farm enclosures which include sheep, deer and other animals and birds.

Herons are often seen by the Thames, this one found a perch half a mile from the river on a neighbour's rooftop.

While no birds are obviously in view here, there is quite a variety of them living within the enclosure.

The park has very pleasant managed woodland. The sun has just come out after earlier rain.
