Short-eared Owls

 Across the border into Northumberland last month for Short-eared Owls. I saw at least five in the same area and I think I managed to get images of three or four of them.

Barn Owl & Hare

 After another visit to watch Barn Owls last month I neatly got an image of boxing Brown Hare. I say nearly because you can see one Hare clearly but not the other one at this rate I will now have to wait until next year to see them again.

My nearly image of Brown Hare boxing.

Heron.

A couple of days later I went back and got this image of a Hare near the path to the carpark.

Two no shows

 I went looking for Dippers recently unfortunately I didn’t find any however I did find somethings. I then had a walk looking for Barn Owl once again I didn’t find any however once again, I did find somethings.

As I drove to the spot where I hoped to see the Dipper a Buzzard was sitting on a telegraph pole. When I stopped the car to try and get a shot the inevitable happened, it flew off. It did however, along with another one, circle around the fields and I managed to fire off a few shots.



You know the feeling you get when you think you’re being watched that’s the feeling I got when I walked through the wood to the burn. A couple of Roe Deer were watching me through the trees.

Wren.

While waiting for the Barn Owls these Buzzards kept me entertained.
