Overcast Owls.

Sitting on the sea wall in the overcast conditions friday evening was worth it in the end. When i was finally rewarded with 2 Short-eared owls quartering the nearby fields and marsh.

Elusive Ouzel.

Another highlight of my trip was the Ring Ouzels. Although very skittish and hard to track. These great birds where a lifer for me to photograph. I saw Five birds stopping off at the Lundy Service station during there migration.

Falcons of Kings.

One of my main reasons for visiting Lundy isl. Was to see the Peregrine Falcons.The history that Lundy has with this magnificent Falcon dates back to the 13th century and the Royal family, and also being the first known site for breeding Peregrines in the UK. Watching them glide over the island or resting on a rocky ledge or in High speed dives for prey was just fantastic.

Alpine Lundy

Finally got some time off work, so took a small break to Lundy island in the Bristol channel. And this Alpine swift was a great treat.

Spring Dance.

At long last i was able to get out with the camera. Although i didn't have much time to spend at Abberton. I was pleased when my subject of the day ended up being these grebes preforming there courtship dance a sure sign spring is in the air. 

Roosting Hens

As the light was fading late Friday afternoon, I managed to see two Hen harriers (ringtail) Coming into the evening Roost on the Marshes. During my visit that day other raptors seen where Marsh Harriers, Common Buzzard, Kestrel  Barn & Little Owl. Altho the regular pair of Peregrine Falcon couldn't be located on the posts out on Geedon marshes. Fingers crossed that my next visit gives me some better opportunity's to photograph these species.
