Lived in London since 1993 but only recently started birding again (after an 18 year gap). This profile is mainly to keep track of the lists for my two 'Patchlist 2007' patches. These are Wandsworth Common and Barnes WWT. Unfortunately, time available for birding is very limited so all these lists are likely to be rather short!
