Barn Owl…

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

Burdon Moor

 A few images from Burdon Moor a couple of weeks ago.

Whinchat.

Mistle Thrush. They were feeding on berries when I first saw them but flew up onto the pole.

A dog walker had let his dog off the lead in one of the fields and it startled these deer which are still watching dog.

 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.

Stonechat.

Night Heron

 A visit to Bolton-on-Swale for the Black-crowned Night Herons that have been there for a while. I only saw one when we were there and it was very distant but up to six have been seen according to the guy I spoke to in the hide.

Durham Dales

 Short-eared Owls (at least five seen) and supporting cast up on the Durham Moors at the beginning of the month. Thanks to Michael (who I saw at work) for the info.
