Spent an hour walking round the reserve this morning in beautiful weather and was treated to singing and displaying Tree Pipits, singing Woodlark, Linnet , two pairs of Marsh Tit, a Grey Wagtail at the Decoy Pond, Siskins in the larches and a number of Willow Warbler and Chiffchaff in full voice. Then it was time to start this month's check of our 200 dormouse nestboxes to see if the recent warm weather had encouraged the dormice to emerge from hibernation. We weren't disappointed. We checked half of the boxes and found 4 animals, including a male and female tucked up together. Never one to pass up the chance of publishing some cute dormouse photos, how about these? Ever seen a dormouse with a comb-over?
