Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park

[Grousemore]

This is one of my local sites,which is well worth a visit at any time of year.

For visitors to Central London,the easiest way of getting there is by Tube (London Underground).Use the Jubilee Line to North Greenwich and then walk East for about a half mile along the Thames Path,past the Millenium Dome and on to the Ecology Park,which is adjacent to the River.

This walk along the Thames usually provides a good mix of birds,I've seen most species of Gull,Terns,Reed and Sedge Warbler,Whitethroat and several waders,including Dunlin and Oystercatcher.

Details of the Ecology Park itself and the wildlife to be found, can be found on the attached links.

Although it is only a small park,it is an enjoyable little oasis in London.

Iam visiting London at the end of the month and I wanted somewhere to visit before going home.I was going to visit Barnes again as you say it's an excellant way to spend a couple of hours.But as as Iam staying in East Dulwich I think I will pop down to Greenwich instead.Are Peregrine and Black Redstart often seen there?

Greenwich would be much easier to get to from East Dulwich,so why not give it a try.

Peregrines are often seen on or around the Dome(deserted now of course) and are reputed to have nested there.

I've not seen Black Redstart there myself,but have heard the odd report in the London area,so who knows?

Good luck.
