Since Linda wanted the automobile this morning (and since I believed there was an opportunity that yesterday’s Lengthy-eared Owl may present earlier slightly than later) I left residence whereas the waxing gibbous Moon was nonetheless vibrant. The native Barn Owl was quartering the Heath: at all times good to see.
In my innocence, I imagined I could be the primary customer – however no: there was already a gallery of a dozen or so once I arrived! Considered one of these was Dick Filby, the originator of Uncommon Fowl Alert. It was nice enjoyable reminiscing with him concerning the ‘outdated days’ of Nancy’s Cafe, the Seaside Lodge and twitching fifty years in the past, earlier than it turned an Olympic sport!
The owl was a no-show: nonetheless, three Bittern flight views have been welcome, as was the Kingfisher that zipped round at warp pace!
