J D Swann, ornithological investigator tells the tale of the Thamesmead’s Best Beaks project whilst beside Southmere Lake in Thamesmead. In 2019 J D drew a composite bird from the favourite parts of birds as voted for by people in Thamesmead during collage sessions at the Exbury Egg, the Thamesmead Festival and Thamesmead Library. The final bird was named later ‘The Greater Chepooka’ and J D would like to see if someone can create a detailed stitching of this magnificant specimen for Fields of Everywhen.
