Decided to take a trip to Staveley Nature Reserve in
North Yorkshire in hope of seeing the Otters or Barn Owl.
As I arrived the clouds came over so the lighting was really
poor for photography and then it started to snow and the paths
and some of the lakes were full of ice but gave it an hour and
with no joy at seeing anything decided to go back to the car and
set off home but as i poured a coffee at the car the sun decided to
show itself so thought I'd give it another go and I'm so glad I did
as the bird life started to wake up to show itself, the Barn Owl
decided to show itself while I was having a sarnie so only got a
quick glimpse but at least I got to see it and then the Water Rail
put on a good show darting in and out of the reeds and a Bittern
was booming away but didn't show itself and neither did the Otters
but a couple of Roe Deer were walking about at a distance and I also
seen a Marsh Tit for the 1st time and 5 Buzzards were soaring above
the reserve so overall it ended up being a cracking day out.
Sorry there's so many pic's I went a bit crazy
