I have worked hard for many years in London, but now, at the age of 63, it seems employers no longer need me. I am not entitled to benefits, so I hope to raise enough money both to stay alive for a year and continue my personal project to improve the welfare of London wildlife. Anyone who is kind enough to contribute is welcome to all the information accumulated over 10+ years of feeding, photography and observation. My own needs are simple, so everything necessary can be taken care of on a budget of £7500 for a year. (NB financially, things are due to improve in Autumn 2025!).
