A Garden Sparrowhawk, and Shorncote revisited








20 Feb - A female Sparrowhawk (1,2) that visited the garden in the morning decided to hang around and preen for the camera.....later a walk before dusk at Shorncote in watery sunlight (3) gave views of the regular Barn Owl (6) perched in the line of old willows. Over a hundred Teal (4) were on the pools, with 13 Shoveler (5) and 45+ Wigeon. Song Thrushes and Reed Buntings were singing in anticipation of spring. 150+ Lapwings flew over heading south. A couple of wary Roe Deer were in the rough grass (7).
