I was at the Cheam Wetlands east of Chilliwack and as I walked along the boardwalk I could hear several Marsh Wrens yelling it out. I suspect there may have been some battling as this one has a little bit missing from the end of it's tail.

We took Dad down memory lane, where Mum came from and where they got Married and we used to visit from Weymouth..who knew i would end up living near here :)
This is one of my local parks in SW London I love cycling to.
The views towards central London are amazing even on my old phone camera.
To the left of the big oak tree you can see the new high rise around Vauxhall, and then The City. To the right of the tree you get just the top of Canary Wharf towers. A good 12 miles away.
Another random discovery while sorting through some almost 40-year old colour negatives.
On a hazy summer's day third-rail, four-car 4-SUB unit 4732 pauses at Cheam station with what the headcode suggests is a London Bridge - Effingham Jct and Guildford service.

Interesting to see another of those 128 coupes. I remember a few of them around from when I was young.
Sadly can't make out the plate on it or the Rover P6, or at least any combination try comes up with no result.
The cottages don't appear to have changed much: goo.gl/maps/bYMBW5hbDPFzqCJ5A
Description on the rear of the card says" Some of the picturesque, mostly weather-boardeded cottages on the south side of Park Lane date from the 16th and 17th centuries. The garden wall of WHitehall, the 16th century house now open to the public, is seen on the left."

Route 156 to North Cheam.
Guess 1948 because bus based at AL – Merton at that time.
Location identified as the North Cheam 'Queen Victoria' stand by
JB (KK 69521), See more in comments.
According to Ian Armstrong London Bus Routes Histories site 156 was a circular route at this time and covered by D -Daimler buses which I would think would have been war time utility buses. So maybe CR23 would been a relief bus to cover shortages.

Mount Cheam near Chilliwack, B.C. is part of the North Cascade Range. It has an elevation of 2,104 metres (just over 6900 feet). It is a fairly accessible climb in the late summer when the snow is gone and affords a spectacular view of the Fraser Valley. Photo taken from Deroche, B.C.
On a very dull and damp 14 September 2021, 377117 arrives at Cheam on the 0807 Dorking - Victoria. The very wide space between the tracks is a legacy of a proposal (never implemented) to provide a central island platform here.
When stuck where all you can take pictures of is one thing, pretty much all you do take pictures of is one thing. So I take a picture of the mountain (Lhilheqey, Mount Cheam, Cheam Peak) almost every day I can
One from my own personal wayback machine - a pic I took in mid-1972 during the last year of my serious bus spotting phase. A London Transport AEC Regent III operating out of Norbiton garage on route 213 in The Broadway at Cheam, Surrey. New one-man buses (DMS) were just a few weeks away.
I lived fairly close by and Howard's Butchers on the corner was where I had a Saturday morning push bike round delivering local meat orders. Just wrapped in paper, no plastic bags and no refrigeration!

A fantastic evening ski tour in the Cascade Mountains of B.C. A view of the rugged Cheam Range makes a fine backdrop.
Locally listed Railway Inn, close to Cheam station. This building may have pre-dated the railway station, thought to previously have been a hotel from 1810. Cheam, London Borough of Sutton.

An up Portsmouth train, composed of class 411 EMU, crosses Station Way on 3 April 1972. The train is about to pass the former LBSCR signal box with a late-model mark 1 Ford Cortina for company. Whilst this view is still possible, the sheer amount of trees will render the train almost invisible!

Last week I visited the Cheam Wetlands east of Chilliwack and I got to watch three Hairy Woodpeckers work their way through some low trees. There was a Downy Woodpecker hanging around but got driven away.
