Peter Jones, "Hampshire Diary"

Tuesday, May 29, 2007 - Night Manoeuvres

Got into a pattern of evening / night time trips recently.. Seems once you get into this pattern it is difficult to switch back to going out at Dawn!

Best birds seen were plenty of Tawny Owls, some really close up views, and a very distant Nightjar heard from near Eyeworth Pond.

An evening at the North Baddesley Church saw plenty of bat activity: Common Pipistrelles looked to be emerging out of the church, and two probable Brown Long eared Bats also emerged. Best sighting though was two Serotines hunting high over the Oak Trees outside our house.

Eyeworth pond had good numbers of Daubentons, and a trip to the Mottisfont area in search of Barbastelle was unsuccesful, but enjoyable with close views of Soprano Pipistrelle and Daubenton's.

Also seeing plenty of Foxes, but no Badgers so far.
