The beautiful song of a robin! 🎶
Robins sing nearly all year—even in winter! ❄️
Perched in prominent spots, they fill the air with their tune. They're fiercely territorial, singing to defend their territory and attract mates.
Have you heard a robin’s song lately?

Spotted on a recent survey: a Liesler’s bat in Sydenham Hill Wood! 🦇
During winter, bats hibernate, so we conduct low-disturbance visual surveys, checking crevices and bat bricks for roosting bats.
This helps us track populations and support their recovery in the city.
