The Badger latrine at Kilvington is so neat and tidy, perfect little holes dug, precisely filled. Surprised there weren't any little toilet rolls beside them!

A pair of Red-crested Pochards were nice to see at Kilvington, we don't get them locally very often. Good increase in wildfowl plus 10 Whoopers and 2 GWEgrets flying. Felt 'birdy' today. #nottsbirding #ukbirding
