A Cetti's Warbler and half a dozen Chiffchaff were around the Main Pond but no other news was received.
Other Wildlife: The autumn sunshine saw five species of butterfly on the wing with a few Red Admiral and Large White moving through, several Speckled Wood still defending sheltered glades, two fresh Meadow Brown and a Wall. At least 25 Common Darter and six Migrant Hawker were also on the wing, with many unfortunately choosing to egg lay in recently flooded areas.

The wet conditions have benefitted fungi with Butter Hygrocybe ceracea and Golden Waxcap H. chlorophana emerging on the golf course, Greyshank Bolete Leccinum cyaneobasileucum, new for the Recording Area, and Bearded Milkcap Lactarius pubescens by the Dune Pond and Yellow Stainer Agaricus xanthodermus, Blue Roundhead Stropharia caerulea and the parachute Marasmius anomalus in the dunes.
