Or the same one that Nicola Devine photographed on 10 March, this time caught on camera in a different area of the Trap Grounds on 15 April.
Breakfast for a Heron
Ben Atwell (aged 10) got this close up to a hungry Heron in the Trap Grounds on 22 March.
The First Weasel
THE FIRST-EVER PHOTO OF A WEASEL ON THE TRAP GROUNDS Nicola Devine’s extraordinary photo confirms the long-suspected presence of at least one Weasel on the Trap Grounds.
Sparrowhawk
Caught on Nicola’s camera: a magnificent Sparrowhawk, just minutes after mating in a tall tree on the Trap Grounds.
A New Fungus
Nicola photographed this grisly-looking (and poisonous) False Morel (Gyromitra esculenta) on 20 March.
Frogs Spawning
Lots of frogs spawning at Frog Lane!
Kingfishers
Kingfishers are making a welcome return to the TG, after what seems like a long absence. A pair have been seen on several occasions in the past ten days. And three at once on one occasion.
Resident Birds
Our resident birds are sprucing themselves up, ready for mating.
Signs of Spring
Signs of spring at the Trap Grounds today – Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
Patterns
Nicola has been photographing patterns on the TG recently. Can anyone identify any of these lichens? Linda Losito managed to identify this fungus as ‘Witches’ Butter’ (Tremella mesenterica), previously recorded on Shotover and at Radley Lakes.
