Contributing Advent 14: Brown Hart Gardens

London, UK

Besides fixing bugs from ITO World or OpenStreetMap notes I also tend to do some general mapping when I am out and about. Coinciding with my "buying the whisky of the month" event (if you want to contribute to this, see the wishlist ;-) ), we ended up walking past a rather curious building with a park on top in London: Brown Hart Gardens.

The gardens, new café, and the "Duke Street Electricity Substation" that lays underneath were not mapped at all, and of course I could not let that be. From photos and memory, I re-created the gardens in JOSM, my preferred OpenStreetMap editor and now it is available on the map — including the steps and the elevator:

There is also a 3D rendering available:

Tomorrow we have elections in the UK!
Lots of local authorities, all London Councils, the Welsh Senedd, and the Scottish Parliament.

On my walk from Aylesbury to Princes Risborough I spotted a few new bird species. I didn't get all the best photos though!
A Common Buzzard, a Yellow Wagtail, a Greater White throat, and a Green Woodpecker.

My First Lapwing!
I went to the London Wetland Centre yesterday, for a day out in nature.
While hiding in a hide, this chap and a friend showed up starting to forage for grubs.
