    An after work return to Blagdon for the Black-necked Grebe and Ospreys. This time i concentrated a bit more on the Grebe. I eventual found it with the Tufted Ducks as usual, but in a different bay. After being flushed out towards the middle of the bay, by a man walking around the lake (and then back the other way, pain). It eventually showed reasonably well.

Daubentons Bat
   While stood on the dam waiting for the Ospreys to show properly, i was told that a Daubentons bat had landed on the wall near the metal gates. Not seen one so lets have a look i thought. It was tucked away between the wall and the gate post. But showing quite well.

   A last drive around the lake, back towards Chew and home for tea, or so i thought. As i drove around one bend of the lake, i saw a lump of something that i didnt think had been there earlier? I was right as i got a bit closer the lump turned out to be a Badger, in broad daylight!!!!
  WOW! What a good day.
