Nature spots on the South Downs near Winchester on another dawn start.
The Barn Owl continues to entertain during its dawn hunting. It flies for an hour from dawn before settling down in a disused barn.
Resting next to a Wood Pigeon.
As with any Owl or Bird of prey; they are often mobbed by crows.
The fields have many Hares, mostly far off, and they do not stay around long if they spot humans.
Yellow Hammer.
Pheasant
Red Kite.
A small finch found on farmland and heathland across the UK.
When you see a Cormorant, you automatically see a big black bird. Look closer, and it is full of colour.
Groups of Sanderlings feed on small worms at low times on Meon Shore Hill Head. Like little clockwork robots, they run up and down, dodging both Black-heading gulls trying to get a free lunch and the incoming tide. These are my favorite shore birds, and I spend many hours watching them.
#Wordless Wednesday
Avocets are starting to arrive in good numbers here on the South Coast. Marking the start of their breeding season.
Ended the week with a quiet early morning walk up the Hamble River from Warsash to Burseldon.
Another Dawn start to look for the local Barn Owls, lover light today but a pair of birds spotted.
Stonechats mainly eat insects, but they also eat seeds and fruits, especially in the colder periods when insects are scarce.
As you can see in my pictures, there were plenty of insects about today!
Up at dawn for a walk along a footpath part of the South Downs Way this morning. Delighted to see a Barn Owl hunting in the morning light.
