The bird species list was a bit low with just 13 species, Canada Geese, Blue Tit, Linnet, Magpie, Carrion Crow, Mallard, Grey Heron, Coot, Reed Warbler, Wood Pigeon, Black Headed Gull, Whitethroat & 2 Kingfishers.
Plenty of damsel & dragonflies on the wing with Common Darter, Common Blue Damselfly, 4 Spot Chaser, Emerald Damselfly, Banded Demoiselle & Black Darter.
We also had a close enocunter with a female grey squirrel and a fleeting glance at a bank vole which ran over the trail in front of us.
