A warm night with a good number of Pipistrelles found on Justice Hill and along Middle Way and the western Blue Ride. Tawny Owls were also calling, but compared to previous years very little evidence of Muntjac Deer, which I would have expected to hear barking and moving about the wood.

Nice to know they are still in the woods. Last Friday, during the workparty, I heard quite close to the Centre, the call of a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker. These have been recorded in the woods before, but most sightings have to the north of the wood around the swallow holes area.
