A Treecreeper spotted by the gate into the south meadow...

and plenty of insect activity in a sheltered hedge by the Mayfield Road Entrance gate...

Confrontation!

Pink candyfloss clouds making a beautiful sunset over the wetlands tonight...

This last week seems to be the week for Red Admiral butterflies... this one was sunning itself on some reeds by the path at the back of the main pool...

and flying up and down the river you might see this shape as I did this morning.... a cormorant

And a single swan on the main pool today, looking very pale... yes that's a colour photo!

Its Autumn!  The hedgerows are bursting with Autumn fruits...

the blackberry season is being enjoyed by the starlings...

a Blackbird rather likes the elderberries...

but the Long-tailed Tit here is probably more interested in tiny insects rather than the hawthorn berries themselves ....

as is the Wren...

and this Great Spotted Woodpecker will also be looking for insects... under the bark....

and here a Comma Butterfly is taking shelter from the breezy weather...
