Plan for today was the New Forest to search out Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers. But I thought I'd pop into Romsey first thing to check on the Hawfinches. Loads about, and in really good light. So I ended up spending almost 5 hours there. Quite pleased with some of the shots with the reflection in the puddle. New Forest will have to be next weekend.
While watching the Hawfinches, also took a photo shots of the other things drinking from the puddles.

For a few weeks now I've regularly seen a Barn Owl on the way home from work. This one seems to be a night time only owl - never seen it hunting in the later afternoon. Managed one blurry photo taken using the car headlights for illumination.

A trip to Romsey this morning to see if the Hawfinches were still about. At least 8 there, and very active first thing in the morning. But a very dull and overcast day. Still managed to get a few shots.
Also, tried to get some shots of the Hawfinches drinking at a puddle, but tricky - they seem even more nervous when drinking.

Back out on Salisbury this afternoon for the Short Eared Owls. Nice, still day. Three owls showed well from about 14:30.
