The flower buds on this Willow were just pushing out and blowing in the breeze
After the recent rains the site is wetter than usual, with all of the ponds looking in great condition.
With a couple of conservation grazing ponies on site I enjoyed checking out the ponds, disappointingly though no sign of any frog or toad activity.
There were a good variety of birds around with 17 species seen or heard, the best of which were Kingfisher, Water Rail and Cettis Warbler.

Signs of mammal activity were confined to a Short-tailed Field Vole under one of the refugia, and signs of a Rabbit nest having been dug out and the occupant eaten.
More interestingly was it eaten by a Fox or an Otter?
