Hi All,
Following my encounter with a stranger, I decided not to let the incident deter me from going to the Reserve.
In a way I think it did me a favour because on reflection he was more of a chancer than dangerous, but it was enough to make me more aware of the risks.
So, this time with phone in pocket, my wits about me & walking boots on (so I can kick him in the "nethers" & run like the wind,) I set off.
(Oh, just for the record, did'nt dare tell my huuby & sons about the encounter, not that any of them are macho men, but, well, you know what I mean)
I went straight to the hide, no sign of the Kingfisher but the Heron came quite close.
Walking back through the woodland I saw;
Butterflies
Wall
Comma
Small White
Speckled Wood
Southern Hawker (male mature I think)
& 2 Darters I need to ID
Saw several Dragonflies at the pond but to fast to take pics.
I sat in a bench & put food on the gatepost & was visited by
Bluetits
Great tits
Robins.
The sociable Robin seemed to hop alongside me throughout my walk, & a Song Thrush popped out to say hello.
I really enjoyed the day, So glad I went.
Aww, no room for my friend the Robin!! (will show again)
Bye All
