You may have been captivated by the amazing films on Springwatch, of a family of stoats springing around and keeping everyone entertained as they go about raising their young at Minsmere? Well, we have just found out that we have our very own stoat family at The Lodge and over the weekend they were being seen by the lucky visitors in the hide!
I'll try to get some images of the stoats on this page- I know there were some photographers who have managed to get some great pictures.
More good news, after a month's absence, the lesser-spotted woodpecker was reported on Sunday, and again this morning, from the same spot where we last saw it, near the old wall at the bottom of the old heath/ Sandy Ridge!
