The Natural History group went to Potteric Carr on Friday 7th August. The visit went well, with good weather that was not too hot for walking.

The reserve was suffering from lack of water in the lagoons but we still had plenty to see.

There was a good variety of butterflies including Red Admirals, Large & Small Whites, Comma, Painted Ladies, Peacock & Common Blue. We saw 2 Roe Deer, I Muntjac, 1 Mouse & 1 Weasel. On the lagoons we saw several Great White Egrets, several Little Egrets, 3 Spoonbill (which were all tucked up so not the best of views), Herons, Mallard, 1 Pochard, Little Grebe & Great Crested Grebe & Gadwall.

Members of the group again took great photos!
