Tawny at Morton Bagot

 Morton Bagot Pools

Good Evening Mr Tawny

I popped over to Morton Bagot on Thursday evening hoping something special might have dropped into the Flash.  On the walk down to the Flash there were plenty of Yellowhammers in the hedgerows whilst a couple of Swallows and Swifts flew over.

I then bumped into local birder Richard Harbird and joined him on the walk. No superstars were at the Flash so we headed to the local stronghold for a family of Tawny Owls. At first glance it looked like the juveniles had fledged but thankfully we located one high up in the canopy. On the way back to the car a Lesser Whitethroat teased us with his call and brief views.
