Whilst working at home today I spotted an unusual daytime visitor to the garden. We know we have Foxes locally – we often hear them calling at night and sometimes see them in the garden after dark. But it is rare to see one during the day, but this one made a brief visit to investigate the area around the bird feeders.
Also visiting the feeder station regularly today were a pair of Jays
The Grey Squirrels were also intent on getting their share as well
In the middle of the afternoon a Little Egret flew towards the west over the garden. This is only the second record for the patch, the first being in December last year.
