3rd Aug Monday - sunny hot, 30C, light East

Willey;

A family of 6 half grown Red-legged partridges with female in long field, 0815h.

I have been putting food and water out for Hedgehogs the last few nights, the food had been taken and fortunately the camera trap confirmed a Hedgehog coming to the food.  Others in the village have been feeding them too during the hot dry period and have seen adults and younger  (smaller) ones. So, we still have Hedgehogs in the village.


Daventry Reservoir; afternoon.

Visited here to see the two Spotted Redshanks that have been present a couple of days, they were showing well.

Also birds included three each Little Ringed Plovers Common Sandpipers.  Little Egrets and Grey Heron. c10 Little grebes and c50 Lapwings. a nice mix of other commoner birds were present too.

The water level is quite low allowing a good wide muddy shoreline - one to watch as autumn progresses.
