| Water Vole, Arvicola amphibius |
Wednesday started with the weekly Heyshott work party. We
have almost completed the clearance of the bowl which looks very neat and will
hopefully attract a female Duke of Burgundy from the nearby colony next year. We
saw a male and a female Brimstone during this sunny morning. The female landed
at the base of a beach hedge. We marked where it had walked into the leaf cover
but couldn’t find it later. The male landed on a leaf and posed well. On
the way home I stopped at Burton Mill lake and enjoyed the view. Then I called
in at Arundel WWT and came across
a Water Vole feeding by the pond at the end of the Reed Bed walk near the
bird feeders.
