Letcombe Valley BBOWT reserve - 26 February 2023

Its that time of year again! Several Common Frogs and frogspawn today at the small pond at the entrance to the reserve SU377860. Perhaps due to the cool wind, they were unfortunately mostly staying over the far side, in cover.

Bank Vole
Bank vole on a cold and frosty morning. Although very much endangered there are at least four that reside on the margins of the pond here at Warburg and appear to be thriving. Love to see them scampering around.
