What have you seen

Fantastic photos BM, I am jealous.  Off to Oulton Marshes where SEO are currently resident so fingers crossed

It was as good a flying display as I have seen to date. Absolutely amazing when all three appeared together. I am not sure if one was a youngster from last year, but it was smaller and lighter coloured than the other two.

Just a thought for anyone interested, there is a small camp site within sight of the hunting fields. Looks like a CL type site.

Great photos BM. We're lucky to have SEOs on the Dee estuary marshes and often see a couple but haven't seen three together for many a year.

Curlew back on our local moors, this morning. Just love to hear them calling. Lapwings have been back for about a week, Spring maybe on it's way!

3 x Short Eared Owls at Oulton Marshes, got some photos but not anywhere near the quality of BM's

Pliers, do you know how Twitch is?

Yesterday was as good a day as today was bad. Fifteen photographers turned up today and no sign of the Owls until about 3.45pm. Unfortunately a young fella with some form of flying object took a central position in the Owl's preferred field and flew said object around and around the entire field.

All photos went in the bin after review.

Spotted a weasel scuttling across the lane when we were out for our first walk is morning. Haven't seen one of these in a while. There was a Goldcrest hopping about the hedge close to the CL yesterday.

Hi, NTH. Have a look at Rockys post in the dogs thread, re Weasels. Enjoy the break.

I also went to Oulton marsh yesterday morning....nothing to be seen!

Should have stayed at home.

We went for a wander around about midday then returned with the Grandtwins about 3pm.  One of the regulars told me the best time to see them was from 3pm onwards to dusk.  We park at by the church and take the downhill track, turn right at the bottom and in a couple of hundred yards turn left.  Follow the track around thru the gates and the owl's quarter around there on both sides of the track.  Apparently they have been there most of the winter
