No photos sadly, but a birdwatching weekend at RSPB Minsmere was memorable for two mini-beast sightings.. A walk thru Dunwich Heath got me my first UK Adder. Seen in slightly bizarre circumstances, as I looked up a side track then turned round to see it on the path about a metre behind me. It was a very dark Adder, and scuttled into the base of a birch tree. I staked it out for a while but didn't see any further sign. Nor did I see any others in the vicinity. Then, at the pond at Minsmere hoping for a Water Shrew, I was lucky enough to see a Water Vole swim out from under the boardwalk, giving excellent views before returning to cover. Water Shrew is probably my most-wanted now!
