A regular look at the wildlife that I come across in Calderdale and days out around the UK.Most observations are from the house and gardens Vis mig records are within 500m of the house.Keep it Local.
Books!! In the early days of looking for long eared owl breeding sites, nick d said he'd read in a book that they don't breed if a tawny owl is nearby, so one evening we checked a site a tawny owl flew out of the plantation and landed on a fence post that's it we thought no Leo's! Next minute a Leo flew out and knocked the tawny off the post!! Unbelievable great evening
Lovely photos Andy.
