This evening wandering around Astley moss with a big torch
4 Brown rats along the Rindle road feeding track. A Stoat seen running beside the ditch between the potato fields. What sounded like a Elephant running towards me on the track next to Rindle Hedges and nearly gave me my 2nd Heart attack of the evening when a large Hare ran past me at speed. Lots of Frogs and 5 Toads found, some of which were crossing Rindle road. A large Beetle with a light green colouring on its back on the remains of the wood chip path.

Astley moss First time that I have watched a Stoat hunting during a hail storm. It was working its way up the wood chip path between Astley and Bedford moss. A Grey squirrel was giving out an alarm call in Rindle woods
I also found two dead Moles and what looked like a dead Bank vole

Weasel seen exiting a recently dug Rabbit burrow on Astley moss. It had a quick run around in the short grass then it went back down into the burrow.
