I have found a new Little Owl.  Very close to home, and right on my way to work.  It's possibly the same one I found in the summer of 2014 - only about a mile apart.  So a couple of record shots from today (one in the morning on the way to work, one in the evening on the way back).  Fingers crossed he stays there for a while.

Some shots of the Hawfinches coming in to roost at Blackwater Arboretum  in the New Forest this afternoon.  And also a Treecreeper feeding around some Ivy.  No luck with Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers in the morning, but will try again before work one day htis week I think...

Some shots of Little Egret, Kestrel and Shelduck at Arne.

A very grey and wet day today, so went to the New Forest to try out some bird in flight photos using some flash units.  3 speedlites on stands set at 1/32 power to try and freeze the motion.  Quite pleased with some of the photos, but need to work out a way of getting a decent background.

After no sightings for ages, I've spotted our local Barn Owl most mornings on the way to work this week.  So took my camera today and managed to get a couple of brief shots of him perched up.  He seems quite reliable at the moment, so will try again the next few days I think.
