Date: 17th June 2022
Time: from 9 p.m.
Weather: dry, sunny and then dark, light wind, 25°C
This was my first evening visit for many months and my hope was to see Red Foxes including possibly cubs and Pipistrelles plus an outside chance of Badgers although I have not seen the last species since late 2020.
I was successful with Red Fox with 2 sightings: individual animals in the western section of the cemetery and in the church car park .... plus another crossing the road at the junction of Czarina Rise and Basildon Road. I failed to see any cubs and I have yet to find any this year.
Disappointingly, I saw no Pipistrelles and, unsurprisingly, I saw no Badgers.
The other mammal that I did see was a female Reeves' Muntjac in the scrub area to the north of the track from Larkins Tyres.
The most notable bird record was 5 Swifts flying very high over the church.
Species recorded during this visit were as follows (heard only records in italics):
Slava Ukraini! …. Glory to Ukraine!
