Shame I'm away Aeshna, otherwise I'd have been interested in a guided walk there.

Slightly closer to the wetlands centre, I'd also say Barnes common is worth a walk round. Quite a large Badgers sett there, amongst other things.
Wilko, you may well have seen a Lesser-spotted Woodpecker there,; a few years back a pair attempted to breed in one of the large poplars + they are in the general area- just never easy to see, unlike their larger cousins!
