8th September 2025 – Stoke Park Estate, Bristol

Just time this morning for a stroll over to one of our local parks before the rain came.

There are still plenty of dragonflies around but I didn’t see much in the way of bird life except for a grey heron (and coots and moorhens) although redstarts have been reported recently.

It’s a lovely spot but not as wonderful as it looks because it’s next to the motorway and very noisy.
