No Bats and a Little Owl

Tim Harris and I had planned to begin a survey of the bats around the Heronry Pond on 15th September. We began the survey as planned, but aborted half way because of the continuing hard rain that had started just as we did. So - no bats. However an encounter with a Forest Keeper (dry in his vehicle) gave us a report of a Little Owl that he had seen on the main track between the Kiosk and the Temple. As this is the first report I've had of a Little Owl in Wanstead Park - perhaps worth noting.
