Plenty of Squirrels and Jays foraging around the site as we come into Autumn, Common Frogs and Toads can be seen searching for food and hibernacula before Winter. Warblers pass through the site on migration with Willow Warbler and Chiffchaff seen on Wader Lake footpath. On the lake, lots of Redshank and a Common Snipe outside NW Hide. Two Common Gull juveniles also dropped in and were seen amongst the Black Headed Gulls.
