10.00-13.00
1 Buzzard, 3 Kestrels, 3 Meadow Pipits plus a few Reed Bunting and
Common Whitethroats. The most numerous birds are Black Headed
Gulls which are constantly flying over the moss.
The main quest was for Adders, but despite finding numerous pieces
of black corrugated sheeting set around the moss, no basking snakes
were found. Each sheet however had an ants nest beneath hit.
4 Common Lizards were found basking, and a few frogs hopping about.
Large Heath, Small Heath, Meadow Brown and Small Skipper butterflies are
numerous.
