A couple of weeks ago we had a drive up to Pow Hill in the hope of seeing Crossbill. Unfortunately, we didn’t see any we did however see plenty of other birds hence loads of images in this Blog.

Only the second time out with the camera in weeks and both have been local. One of my neighbours put me onto a Red Kite which he had seen roosting while out walking with his dog. Yesterday I went looking for it and found two in the same tree. Today I went for a walk and decided to take the camera just in case and I’m pleased I did as I came across this Long-eared Owl enjoying the afternoon sun.

This one was the only one I managed to get an image of
as the other flew off.
