A most fruitful afternoon visit to Poole Park. Ostensibly it was for a play in the park but a wander round the smaller lake yielded a sighting of a bat, at 3pm in the afternoon. It had quite long light brown wings and spent a while hunting bugs close to the water's surface. It flew up over the bridge, within a couple of feet of us, and off towards the main lake.
That was followed by a sighting of a Kingfisher hunting from the walkway onto the main lake. It sat on the railings before diving into the water after an unsuccessful attempt and then back up to the railings. The wander then included sightings of Blackheaded Gulls, Herring Gulls, Grey Heron, Oystercatcher, Little Egret, Redshank, Mute Swan, Mallard and Tufted Duck.
