27th August 2024

A Common Sandpiper was present on a pool at Mill Mead this morning. A flock of Canada Geese joined it whilst it was feeding on the far bank.


Woodpeckers are becoming more regular as juvenile birds explore their surroundings. The Great Spotted looks like a female was very obliging this morning.


A Brown Hawker dragonfly was photographed this afternoon. They are spreading their range and are still shown as rare in the South West?!
