MAMMALS

The following have been observed in recent years:-
Bank vole
Common rat
Common shrew
Fox
Grey squirrel
*Rabbit
Roe deer (2005/06/07/08)
Wood mouse (2005/06/07/08)


*Droppings & evidence found in 2002.

** A badger was also found dead in Poole Lane near to the NHS Trust home. This important conservation species does visit the Kinson reserve and has been recorded in 2007 and 2008. Most recent recording by RD & J Haskell on 19th October, 2008.

Three species of bats are still present and are believed to have roosting sites on or close to the Kinson reserve.

These are the Common bat, Soprano bat and the Noctule bat. There are many types of bats living in the Kinson,Millhams and the Longham areas. Little local research has been undertaken at present.

REPTILES & AMPHIBIANS & FISH

Common Lizard
Well located around the reserve.

Slow Worm
Still found in small numbers.

Common Frog
These are well distributed locally. As well as spawning in established natural pools they also tend to spawn in water filled hollows which
dry up very quickly during the drier seasons and great numbers of tadpoles are lost.

Common Toad
These are recorded annually and there numbers are never high.

Palmate Newt
These breed in generally around the reserve and are very very partial to frog tadpoles Pollution does affect their numbers in some years.

FISH
Brown Trout (2007-2008).
Three-spined Stickleback (2008).
