Mute Swan 4 (inc a nesting pair with 8 eggs)
Grey Wagtail 1
Great Spotted Woodpecker 1
Raven 1 (silhouetted)


Large Red Damselfly

      Thank you, Peggy. Just lucky there's lots of green spaces.

      They're quite common Caroline and often found where there's been wood chippings. Best looked for early morning as they only last a day at most.
