The usual wetland birds included a flock of Shelduck ...
...a Little Egret ....
... and a Redshank.
A Kestrel hovered overhead before diving on to its prey.
There was a Reed Bunting ...
... a Linnet ...
... and a Goldfinch.
Common Lizards could be seen on the boardwalk.
Insects included a longhorn beetle (Update: it's Anaglyptus mysticus) ...
... and a squash bug.
As we were about to go home, a young fox walked across the grass under the visitor centre.
OMG does it get any better than that too?
