6/1/2015: Back to work....

6/1/2015

New term started today so a reduction in time dedicated to birdwatching! A brief morning walk produced very little and by the time work and family duties had been carried out dusk was well and truly upon us as we went round The Lode.

As we crossed the railway line we were met by a Barn Owl hunting over the field. Good views were to be had as it quartered back and forth over the field then crossing the river to the far fields. I counted 9 'drops' but without luck before it disappeared over the hedge.

Other than that very quiet.

Talking of Barn Owls.......

The following photos were mobiscoped some time ago while out at the Nene Washes. They were taken using a Blackberry attached to a Nikon EDG Fieldscope. They are 'raw' and have not been photo shopped in any way.
