What a beautiful end to a bad weather day! As I arrived a Buzzard was circling low over the marsh sending the Wood Pigeons scattering for cover. 2 Kingfishers circling the scrape were in addition to one I had seen a little earlier at the south side of the reserve.
As the light faded a full moon began to shine in a cloudless sky, perfect conditions for observing a Noctule Bat as it began to feed over the scrape. As it got darker up to 6 Pipistrelle Bats came out and were performing their butterfly-like flight patterns in front of the hide.
