A couple of Owls

Greater Short-toed Lark

 To say that the Greater Shot-toed Lark at Whitburn the other day showed well is an understatement. It came very close to the gathered photographers at times until a fisherman walking up the path spooked it. It didn’t fly far however and it was soon relocated.

Burdon Moor

 No Short-eared Owl or Barn Owl this time just some of the other birds seen at Burdon Moor a few days ago.

This female Kestrel looks to have a crossed beak.
