Of Bees, Birds, Hoverflies and Lichens in the Waterloo area (the London Borough of Lambeth)

Due in the Waterloo area at 14.00 o'clock for a Meeting, we arrived early and looked around to see what we could find in the Grounds of St John's Church, Waterloo (Grid Reference TQ3180).

And we weren't disappointed.

We saw a few Bees (including this assumed Buff-Tailed Bumblebee) viz.

a Hoverfly (Meliscaeva auricollis) viz.

and quite a few birds including Blue Tits, House Sparrows and a Robin viz.

Lichen-wise, we didn't see too many although we did see some (photogenic ones) growing on a tree in Nelson Square (close to the Southwark Underground Railway Station) viz.
