Today was all about finding more Little Owl sites, I've been doing some homework after a bit of networking at the Birdfair and I was going to find out today if it was all worth it!
First raptor of the day was this superbly marked Kestrel, makes a change from Little Owls I suppose.
I was searching around the Saddington area and it didn't take too long before site No 116 was located. Sadly no adult birds where seen here but a very satisfying 3 juveniles.
Juvenile No 1
Juvenile No 2
Juvenile No 3
Next owl to be located was another Juvenile also at Saddington, this territory was pretty close to the first, only two fields away.
An alert juvenile at site No 117.
The final new location of the day and new site No 118 was an adult owl near to Gumley. Sadly the image is really poor due to the distance and the fact it wouldn't come out of the confines of the nest tree.
Can you see him?
Many thanks to David Scott for the shared info on the potential sites.
