Wow, the suns out!!!!!!! Visit to the levels planned for today, but a quick trip to Aust Warth first, turned out to be a good idea. A Barn Owl showed really well.

Now to see if my luck would hold. Catcott was the aim, a male Hen Harrier the bird. Redwings and Fieldfares were flying up in front of the car, as we drove along the track at Catcott Lows, towards the hide. Quite a few Wigeon, Teal, Shoveler, Pintail and the odd Tufted Duck were seen. A dozen or so Snipe were also counted. Raptors were also about, male & female Marsh Harrier and a few Buzzards. Then in flew the male Hen Harrier, such lovely looking birds these! Some better shots than last time too.

After this, a quick drive across Tealham and Tadham Moors produced a Sparrowhawk, Kestrel, Buzzard and a Barn Owl, along with thousands each of Lapwing and Starling. An amazing sight to end the day.
