Have had some fabulous wildlife spots recently.
We saw a water snake on the Wey, swimming its way (Wey boom boom!) along side the boat! This was the most exciting have never seen a snake in the UK. Great spot by the boss.
I then spotted a turtle type creature, not sure exactly, don't think it was a terapin, was quite big. He was just sitting there, on a big log, in the middle of the Grand Union, near Kings Langley. A duck was sitting next to him. Very cool!
A couple of days ago I was walking along the tow Path on the Grand Union, I hear a lot of rustling in the reeds on the other side. I saw something slinking in between them and thought some sort of water rodent, but as it went on realised it was in fact a fish. A gihuge one! It was flaffing around in the reeds then splashing around in the water, there may have been more than one at some point. It was the biggest fish I have ever seen, thats for sure. Not sure of it type. It had a peachy pinky fin and a copper coloured body. It must have been at least a metre long. Was in a bit of a frenzy too!
A green woodpecker flying across the meadows on the Wey navigation.
A tree creeper, funnily creeping up a tree! Never seen one of those either!
A young female Mandarin duck on the Thames.
Lots of exciting spots.
NO kingfishers though. Keeping eyes peeled.
