Pennington Flash (other wildlife)

A Weasel ran across the path in front of me between Rammie hide and the canal where all the
paths meet.

09.30-11.30

4 Meadow Brown, 1 Common Blue & 1 Small Skipper butterflies on the

meadow (North West corner)

A smallish dark butterfly fluttering along the bottom of an hedgerow on the

South East corner of the park fitted the description of a Ringlet. From

what I've read online since these butterflies are rare in GM. However, on

viewing quite a few good internet photos of them since I'm convinced

now it was a Ringlet. Also1 Southern Hawker dragonfly was near the

Teal hide

Sunday 30 Oct pm with Tony Darby

A splendid Giant Puffball visible through a hedge in a field on the way to the East Bay to twitch the Red-crested Pochard. It was literally bigger than a football!
