This young Rat at the picnic area at Wansford Station was extremely bold. One group of diners had barely left before it was out hoovering up the remains.
Brown Rat (Rattus norvegicus)


Common Darter (Sympetrum striolatum), female


A popular target for many of the large number of rail enthusiasts along the route: the recently restored steam engine, Mayflower.
