A quick visit to my mothers for a cup of tea saw Tree spuggy, Siskin and Greenfinch on her feeders.Then I went birding on the patch I served my time on, the Hawthorne there is just waiting for Redwing and Fieldfare to arrive. A closer look at one bush and two orange eyes stared back at me.

Those of you who know me will know where this is, but the behavior of a small minority of photographers stops me disclosing the sight.You know the type, no bins but tape lures and they are good at climbing fences. The type where the image captured is more important than the bird, tossers basically.
Allan,

ReplyDeleteI wonder if anyone springs to mind following that description. I can think of 50 at least.
ReplyDeleteMy record spotting Owls whether Little, Short or Long-eared is shocking so i have more chance of Spotting The Ball !!! ( i think it's on the owls head by the way....just before he pops it in the net over the keeper)
The leo is in the top left corner, stick with Howden blogger for owl sightings he taught my everything I know.
DeleteI will, i will.
ReplyDeleteHe has a reputation among the birding fraternity second to none. Not allowed to say what it is though.
