I wasn't going to bother going out yesterday but with the
sun popping its head out for a couple of hours I decided
to give it a go and Im so glad that I did, I won't say where
I went for the birds safety but it was well worth the effort,
4 Barn Owl, 2 Little Owl and 1 Short Eared Owl all seen
it was just a shame it was getting dark and they were at a
fair old distance, too far for any decent photo's but then
again beggars can't be choosers, also at the same venue
were 2 Buzzard and 6 Kestrels, you don't get many days
like that so I was well chuffed, oh I forgot there was also
a cracking Peregrine flyover as well. I gave SM a call and
he turned up and was well chuffed with the night of Owls.
After being reviewed by proper birders who are a lot more
experienced and wiser on the avian skill it has now been
declared a Long Eared Owl and not a shortie, either way
I'm still chuffed and a big thank you to everyone who helped.
