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!

The first patch (Barnes WWT) covers the London Wetland Centre, the foreshore between Putney & Hammersmith Bridges, Barnes Common, and the playing fields, etc between Barnes Common and the LWC, including the Beverley Brook between the Thames and Rocks Lane. This forms an area of around one and a quarter miles long and, at its widest, just over half a mile wide.

Barnes WWT: 1. Mute Swan, 2. Canada Goose, 3. Wigeon, 4. Gadwall, 5. Teal, 6. Mallard, 7. Shoveler, 8. Pochard, 9. Tufted Duck, 10. Ruddy Duck, 11. Little Grebe, 12. Great Crested Grebe, 13.
