I had a brief run out over to the Kilby area tonight, checked out six Little Owl territories but only saw birds at two sites, No's 19 & 119. The only image I managed was from site No 19, a very relaxed owl!
It was good news at site No 119 though, although a relatively new site this was the first time I have actually seen one of the resident owls here, all previous encounters where "heard only". Then just as I was departing I heard another Little Owl call from a couple of fields away, only this one was in totally the opposite direction to the one I had been watching, hmmmmmm, could it be a new site???? Watch this space.......................
just been catching up
ReplyDeleteit'll be interesting to compare this years slices of coloured pie on the chart with the one detailing next years results. . .
looks like you have plenty of hedgerow trees on your patch, but i wonder if any of your birds are nesting in, or close to the ground ?
- we have several pairs in rabbit burrows, within piles of bricks/rubble & holes in railway embankments.
This get inspired reading this " OATT" - must get my blog underway again.
my 1st word last line should be "Still"
ReplyDeleteHi ya Stevie, good to hear from you again, I thought there must have been a problem at your end as you havn't updated your Blog for a while?
ReplyDeleteI guess you just got fed up with it??
I am not aware of any local Little Owls nesting on or near the floor, too many natural sites in the Ash trees (we have 1,000's of them!). I don't want to appear thick, but what does "OATT" mean????????? And yes you should start blogging again!
