Barn Owl

 A local Barn owl recently.

My first…

 …Grasshopper Warbler of the year late afternoon yesterday. The light had just about gone, the Barn Owl that I had been watching had flown off somewhere else and I was about to go home when I heard a call that was unmistakeable.  I went to the spot where the call had come from and sitting in the brambles was a Grasshopper Warbler.

Same day…

 …different location. Roe Deer and Red Squirrel. The light was really harsh in both locations making getting a half decent shot difficult.

Bug Hunting

 A couple of days ago as the weather was good, I went bug hunting and wasn’t disappointed.

Buzzard

A few images of a Buzzard from a couple of weeks ago. It was catching and eating frogs however it seemed to be always behind a twig or a branch.
