February 23rd 2008

Out early to valley with a full moon and clear skies but mist and light drizzle at first light. Long-eared Owl must have heard me muttering after showing briefly again before dawn as it made a re-appearance in very good light perched high on a hedge for a few minutes. My best views so far. Raven 5, Buzzard, Great-spotted & Green Woodpecker, Brambling flying over south calling and the Stonechat male on roadside hedge. Coming back from Focus Optics this afternoon with Dave we had 40+ Golden Plover flying over Lawford Heath village. Brambling female and two Bullfinch on feeders. Common Pipistrelle hunting over garden at dusk. Hebrew Character in trap.
