Cotswolds specialities.......

14 Dec - A fine, calm, sunny winter afternoon, and a very productive couple of hours in the Cotswolds - 2 brief sightings of ringtail Hen Harrier, Kestrel, Buzzard and Red Kites - plus a Barn Owl seen in very good light, well before sunset, and 2 Short-eared Owls also hunting. Excellent! Earlier, another hour spent with the Bramblings in the beeches near Daglingworth - very good views of the birds both feeding in the Beech litter (well camouflaged) and perched/ in flight through the trees. An exceptional opportunity to study this species, one of my favourites.
