Birds of the Heath in the Autumn
Despite its urban location there's always something interesting to spot on the Heath: Dartford Warbler (this year! - the first time since WWII), Alpine Swift and Bittern, have all come our way before! Nothing promised ... but you never know. And with Pete leading the walk - you couldn't have a better guide to the Heath's birds. (Bring binoculars and sturdy shoes / boots.)

Plaques in Hampstead
Maggie's Corner
"On the corner of Willoughby Road where it meets Haverstock Hill, Maggie the redoubtable had her flower-stall – she was there for 60 years and, since she died in 1974, must have started at the beginning of, or just before, the First World War. There’s a plaque in her memory on the wall.
