In the morning we went for a walk by the Itchen looking for the Kingfishers which I saw on Saturday, but they weren't around. I had seen two just below Woddmill on Saturday when the tide was out. The tide was in today so catching fish there would have been more difficult. We did see a very late duckling though.
In the afternoon we went to Hook with Warsash Nature Reserve and saw Black-tailed Godwit, a Heron, Little Egret, Oyster Catchers and a cabbage white caterpillar on some sea kale. It's the first time we've been there but we'll be back.

Eling
There are a couple of places that we've explored around Eling. Both times we've been there we drove in via Jacob's Gutter Lane and Eling Hill and parked in the car park which is on the right just before you reach the toll bridge.

A Cricket and Bats by the Itchen
Went for an an evening walk by the Itchen and saw a Dark Bush Cricket. By the river we saw three kinds of bats. Pipistrelle which are the most common British bat, Daubenton's which are a similar size to Pipistrelle but skim low over the water and Noctule bats which are larger (35cm wingspan) and fly higher up.
