1. This is an excellent way to start. Who knew we had such a diversity of birds in Finchley Central

2. Like Samuel, we've been taking a keen interest in the families of Mandarin ducks in Darlands lake. Hope the deluge helped them out
There are currently 3 broods of Mandarin Duck making the most of the last slither of water left in Darlands Lake at the moment. Fingers crossed for some rain to help them through the coming days. #30DaysWild #londonbirds pic.twitter.com/wKCmnLfmNR— Samuel Levy (@FinchleyBirder) June 3, 2020
3. The changing face of Cricklewood. A series of tweets showing the old and new rail sidings. The old ones will be replaced by a new station serving Brent Cross. These three tweets nicely chronicle the changes

4. and whilst we are in Cricklewood, the local community had a rather sad loss

5. One of the many things of great value our community has lost
For many years the newspapers were housed at the newspaper library in Colindale, North London. Do we have any ex-Colindale readers with us today? What are your favourite memories of the newspaper library? (image R.Sones wikimedia commons) #BLRefChat pic.twitter.com/gLnF9lwhli— BL Reference Service (@BL_Ref_Services) June 5, 2020
6. Love pictures of old pubs. It's amazing that with all the money spent on design and branding these days, they never look this good!

7. It is always fascinating when we discover reminders of a long lost past
These charming structures from the long-gone Brent Bridge Hotel on Brent Street, Hendon, are now in a very sad state. It would be nice to see them restored, don't you think?— NW London TimeMachine (@time_nw) June 7, 2020
