Hairy Hawker gets 2016 finally up and running!

Hairy Hawker gets 2016 finally up and running! Whilst Bank Vole and Wood Mouse continue to be recorded pretty much everywhere I set the mammal cam.

A tiring day seawatching at Hurst beach, then searching for stuff at Keyhaven. Seawatching seemed pretty slow, but I did see Great Skua, plus Arctic Tern, Common Scoter and Little Tern.

Keyhaven was good with a roosting Spoonbill, plus Little Tern and Two separate sightings of Cetti's Warbler.

My main reason for visiting was to hopefully catch up with a Hairy Dragonfly.. I eventually saw one, but with awful views. Only identified by virtue of the fact that the Hairy is the only hawker/Dragonfly on the wing! Still it is a start!

Mammal cam has been deployed in a few locations around the village now, with the same results at each venue: Bank Vole, Wood Mouse, and the occasional Brown Rat. I've set it in a totally different habitat this week, but still the Wood Mouse persist!
