| Slow-worm - S. Cocker |
Now the kids have gone back to school the weather starts to play its nasty trick and come out sunny again. It seems to happy every September that as soon as the autumn term start the Indian summer arrives and baths us and the wildlife in warm sunshine. Sue Cocker made the most of the last of the summer weather when she came across this lovely Slow-worm at Southwater Quarry.

| Wasp Spider - Warnham LNR |
Exciting news came through at the weekend when a single female Wasp Spider was found on Mill Meadow at Warnham. This is brilliant news for us as there has not been a sighting since the 1st August 2006. We have no idea where she has come from but fingers crossed it might be the start of another colony, especially as the colony at Southwater now seems to have all but died out.
Staying at Warnham it is nearly time that the five British White Cattle are to move to pasture new at Chesworth Farm where they will play a vital role there in aftermath grazing the hay cut. As you might have guessed from the dumper trucks in the background we have been busy once again at the Sandpiper Scrape and have carried out some more of the wetland restoration scrapes in front of the Sandpiper Hide. Once this has been completed I will do another post to bring everyone up to date.
