monday evening.back again lot less wind and bright evening sunlight
one long eared owl hunting on one side of the track and a short eared owl on the other side,fantastic stuff.
really nice to see both species at the same time to compare size,shape and colour.
now 3 young LEO's calling at this site,another adult was seen going into another site from here and a quick scan of the other 2 site viewable from here produced nothing.
also another short eared owl seen.
