Ham Photos is a growing archive of photos of Ham (at the meeting of Richmond upon Thames and Kingston upon Thames in south-west London), where I have lived since 1996. It captures the small changes that are easily missed and delights in the unusual, the unexpected and the unnoticed.

Holly
The mature and mixed vegetation that a resident ripped out of the Council owned and managed land running through Royal Park Gate has been replaced with holly. This fails on many counts; it is inappropriate next to a busy path, in a mono-culture and does not provide the coverage needed by wildlife.

I agree with Matthew on this. Many of us were disappointed and/or upset by the loss of the mature, mixed vegetation so helpful to the wildlife in the area. Holly seems an unsatisfactory replacement.
