Courtesy of DM along with DW. A very enjoyable session culminating with a look inside the visitor centre which contained information of value relevant to many of the plants and insects we'd encountered.
A welcome surprise bird came in the form of a Pintail, either a female or juvenile judging by the plumage. At this date I don't think it was a male in eclipse.

A Tawny Owl was heard calling for a few minutes during the walk to the reserve but eluded us in the foliage.
