RXwildlife Sightings

Despite the work going on at Castle Water many birds could still be seen from the hide, 7 Little Ringed Plover, 4 Common Sandpiper and 3 Green Sandpiper. From the viewpoint 18 Little Egrets were loafing around mid morning and a Kingfisher gave good views perched in the willows. Things have gone very quite at Ternery Pool , most of the Sandwich Terns seem to have moved off, the young Heron pictured would not have had a chance to roost a few week ago.

The post written on the 17th June Common Blue, refers to the female of the species having almost all brown upperwings in the south, a few could be found at Castle Water today.

Female Wasp Spiders have an unmistakable appearance, and make their large webs near ground level, which have a zig-zag ribbon of silk running from side to side. They eat Grasshoppers, Crickets and other flying insects, the males of the species are also on the menu often being eaten during mating.
