Anyone playing the Blue course recently will have noticed a couple of new additions to the regular wildlife at Frilford. Two Egyptian Geese have taken up residence and can be seen on the front nine most days. Egyptian Geese are an introduced species, first arriving in St. James’ Park in 1698 from it’s natural range of Egypt and North Africa.

Next to the reservoir I can across some holes in the sand. These are made by Mining Bees - a genus which contains 67 species.
They are common around the course - I have been stung by one on the Green course when searching for my ball in a bunker. Sadly my expertise does not extend to classifying these in any more detail.
