Protecting London’s wildlife for the future

Firecrest

Described by the RSPB as a ‘tiny, restless jewel of a bird’,

the firecrest is one of the UK’s smallest birds. Evergreen

woodlands are a good place to look out for them, and they

are easiest to see in autumn and winter. They are thought to

be breeding in small numbers in around 550 territories

across the UK - including Sydenham Hill Wood. For more
