During the hot weather we had a look in a few pond for any signs of frogs and spawn, found various amounts of spawn in the ponds located just after the horse field and also could here the males calling, but further on in the reserve, could not find any signs in the checked ponds.
Also in the horse field, an Oyster Catcher was just on the other side of the wall enjoying the sun, but it had great difficulty in walking, one of the legs was severely damaged.
On the walk back along Red Ley lane, a lone Green Finch was calling, not seen any on the reserve for quite some time now.
