Barn Owl…

 …from a couple of days ago. The light had almost gone so thank heavens for photoshop.

Four Raptor Afternoon…

 …a couple of days ago with Barn Owl, Short-eared Owl, Kestrel and Buzzard all seen. The Short-eared Owl came in from very high up from the north east where it was being harassed by a Rook. It eventually landed on a fence post and I managed to get a few shots before it dropped from the post into the field and I didn’t see it again (I think it was spotted by someone else later). The Barn Owl showed up just as the light was going however the Kestrel put on a great show the whole time we were there.

 Barn Owl, Whinchat and Stonechat from the beginning of the month.

The Swallows did not like the Barn Owl being around.

However, the Swallows eventually left it alone so it could carry on hunting.
