Also another Red Admiral (also at Stithians) in the sunshine. Not been out much (!) but another vertebrate, a mid-sized Common Toad on the 18th under a bit of corrugated iron.
Hey! It was only about twenty feet away, unfortunately I saw the movement out the corner of my eye and turned my head.
As other mammals go, hardly been to the coast this year, and that's not going to happen again for some while ... so won't be much happening on the cetacean/pinniped front awhiles ...
I am able to check a couple of private reserves for poaching activity with the blessing of an owner and local council manager.
Private reserve. 4th April. Robuck vanishing in the undergrowth plus many rabbits.
Council owned reserve, 6th April. Several Peacock and one Brimstone. I heard a barking ahead of me and saw one limping Muntjac and a little later a smaller one. Heard noises of Roe deer bashing through undergrowth and swimming a brook at the border of the reserve. I found no evidence of poachers but later that afternoon a landing net was found hidden behind a tree. Bastards!
No sight or sound of any migrant birds other than Black cap and Chiffchaffs.
