Sitting here today looking out at the rain and wind it seems a long time ago I was working in the Visitor Info Centre in the bright sunshine over the weekend!
One lucky visitor had great views of young tawny owls near the start of the Quarry Trail on Sunday, although I went down and they had disappeared back into the trees. The hobbies are active along the Galley Hill trail,while red kite, sparrowhawk,, several buzzards and a kestrel were soaring regularly over the new heath, at one time all together!
There aren't many birders around today, but a highlight for the Tuesday walkers group were views of great-spotted woodpeckers feeding young at the hide this morning.
Several scarce chaser dragonflies have been seen here recently, Dr Mark How's got this great image of one we were watching together just in front of the Visitor Centre.
