Took these today after finally finding a nature reserve just a 5 minute drive away from home, the details of which I had stumbled over whilst googling something else. Having mentioned it to various people that have lived in the neighbourhood for years and been met with blank faces, it seems it isn't very well known.
Basically its woodland with a mix of native and introduced species, a stream, Folly Brook and a pond. Surrounded by agricultural land its hard to believe this place is still London. Now ok I know its a weekday, but we walked round its entire perimeter [about 1 1/2 hours] and didn't see a soul around, it was just blissfully peaceful. I do plan on returning to get some better shots which will go up for c&c, but for now, grabbed whilst managing two tugging terriers, I give you Darlands Nature Reserve.
and finally, just playing with mono, the 'village green' where we left the car
