A couple of hours at Salisbury Cathedral first things this morning.  Saw a nice mid-air food pass between the male and female Peregrines.

Another week, another Tawny Owl. This one I found at first light this morning at Arne.  Came back about 3 hours later and it was still about, but had moved to a higher roosting perch.  Chest feathers look a little scruffy on this one.  Could just be wet.  Could be moulting.

A few photos of birds on the garden feeders this weekend.  I reckon Great Spotted Woodpecker chicks will be in the garden within a week.  Also, a Swallow on Salisbury Plain today.

Last week, I found a Tawny Owl at Ham Wall.  This week, I found one in the New Forest.  Also, lots of Redstarts about, including some that were already gathering food for chicks.

First visit of the year to the Somerset Levels.  Excellent view of a Tawny Owl and Owlet early yesterday morning.  Also, Marsh Harriers, Bitterns, and Cuckoos about.  Not sure of the LBJ spotted on the path - could be a Garden Warbler perhaps?  There were a few around.

And on Monday morning, a visit to Hodders Combe on the Quantocks.  Wood Warbler, Pied Flycatcher and Redstart all seen.
