The Little Owl was a bit distant at first, but it did eventually come a bit closer. At least six Roe Deer were in a couple of fields.

Another late afternoon at Burdon Moor with at least three Buzzards displaying (although at a distance). A pair of Kestrel were also out hunting, presumably the same pair that I saw the previous afternoon. I was also pleased to see a male Stonechat and a Meadow Pipit.

If you were allowed a favourite duck this would be mine, a male Smew. This one was at Studley Royal yesterday.
It caught not one fish
but two while I was there.
