Great Crested Grebe with Rudd at Paxton Pits
We were amazed to see the size of the Rudd this Great Crested Grebe caught at Paxton Pits then wrestled with for some time before he could swallow it!

Short Eared Owl
After several visits to Four Mile Bar and Cloot Drove I finally worked out the best strategy to photograph the Short Eared Owl. On some days I am told there were up to nine owls out flying together, the most I saw one evening was 3 together. My final visit a few weeks ago I sat on the river bank opposite the field with hay bales still there from last years harvest. After a while there was movement in the long grass and a lone Owl flew up to the bale, his eyes are still closed! On reviewing my shots I thought I had made an error with my settings but I understand he sadly has a problem with one eye as can be observed in some of the following shots. On one of the later shots I believe it is just possible to perhaps view a short ear.
Bullfinch at Langford Lowfields
Shortly after we left the car park we heard two Bullfinches calling to each other from opposite sides of the woodland walk, we were soon rewarded by a glimpse of one feeding high in the trees.

Chaffinch at Langford Lowfields RSPB, as we arrived at the entrance gate we had a brief view of a Nuthatch too but my photograph was not worthy so was deleted!
