Sunday 16th September 2012







A very warm but windy day.
Day spent at Staveley Nature Reserve. This reserve is managed by The Wildlife Association having recently aquired further fields surrounding the reserve. Ongoing work is in progress in expanding the reserve with a new very large Hide (just opened), further lakes and creating Wildlife Meadows. Despite the wind the warmth brought out many Dragonflies and Butterflies.
After a Pub Lunch in the Village we felt the urge to explore more of this reserve so a full day was enjoyed walking round this wonderful reserve.
With all the current unwelcome news of the Badger Cull in Gloucester it was good to see a very large Badger Set within this reserve, safe from any cull.
