Bat trapping on the reserve on the night of Friday 1st June with the Derbyshire Bat Group.

The 31st May was the quietest day of the week.

I have at least one wate rvole in the stream running through our garden.

A very wet morning at Carr Vale.

Just a quick walk down to Reed Bed Little Ringed Plover.

Dingy skippers- 2 flying around over grassy slopes that have been cut last year

Initially overcast but warm with a light NE wind, but brightening up with tummy intervals as the day wore on.

The purple patch continued this morning with another new bird for the year.
