1 of 4 Raven
Peregrine fly- past.
This is the second in a week and not a tree in sight.
8 Wheatear present.
A nice bird to have around, Short Eared Owl.
Dont look at me like that !!
- A real autumn type morning at 8 degrees on a moderate SW>5 increasing to SW>6 by late afternoon. Near full cloud cover with a few blue patches.
- Much quieter today with the wind shutting the job down and very little moving. Two squadrons of Starlings came over the water in migration mode in their usual direction of >NW, very early for Starlings to be moving.
- At least 8 Wheatear were present on the west bank but another gull less day other than 3 very raggy LBBs in moult and a single ad Herring on the water. A Peregrine gave a fly over whilst 4 Raven were over the quarry where the owner tells me they all come down to share his sandwiches with him daily.
- The Short Eared Owl gave a quick display but struggling in the wind so soon dropped down into the moor and out of sight.
