Another good bird to start the day with and that was the Tawny Owl that was calling from somewhere close to the back garden, at 06:25.
Once it got light, i hung back a bit so that i could wish Storm a happy (15th) birthday. And while waiting for the lazy sod to get out of bed, i managed a couple of species for the notebook, and they were : Stock Dove 1 (feeding) & Greylag Geese 19 SW (small skeins of 7 & 12).
Tawny Owl : bit of a cheat this one, as it`s my stuffed bird. It was picked up as a roadkill from Elsecar Road, several years back.
Cortonwood was again pretty quiet, with the best being : Shoveler 3, Pochard 1, Tufted Duck 31, Treecreeper 1.
And the photos taken were none of the above ;

Chilly old post Dean , no wonder storm didn't want to get out of bed!! Still no Owls here :-(
ReplyDeleteStorm 15 already? Where did those last few years go? I like your Owl and the ice shot.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking what a cracking photo of a Tawny till I scrolled down read what it was.
ReplyDeleteLike the sky pic as always and the ice formation is great.
ReplyDeleteWarren : Chilly.... it was a bitterly cold day. Hey, it doesn`t have to be cold to keep Storm in her bed. Typical teenage behaviour ;-)
ReplyDeleteToffeeapple : Thank you. Never mind the last few years. Where did the last 12 go. Doesn`t seem 2 minutes since i used to take her to playgroup.
Brian : I should have kept quiet about that ;-) No, that`s not in my nature. Honest as the day is long, me.
Alan : Cheers.
