12 Days Of London Christmas… What On Earth Is A Colly Bird Anyhoo?

By Lwblog @londonwalks

It’s our very own Daily Constitutional version of the 12 Days Of Christmas – with London quirks and twists. 


Some literal, some tenuous, some downright contrived (!), what links them all is that they can be seen right here in the world’s greatest city on or around the route of a London Walk. 
Don’t forget… you can join London Walks TWICE on Christmas Day! The walks meet by the big tree in Trafalgar Square. Click HERE for more details. 

Merry Christmas!




A colly bird is another name for the common blackbird. So as an extra treat, here's an uncommon blackbird… and a pink one too! Look out for 'em on the Kensington walk on Thursdays and Saturdays.
