A Short-eared Owl near Trudoxhill on my way home from work earlier was a welcome addition to my East Somerset Year List

Donana in southern Spain is drying up & out. Illegal extraction of water to irrigate crops (often destined for UK) is having huge impact. Now, the large old trees are suddenly dying, like this Cork Oak, one of only a handful of Spanish Imperial Eagle nest sites in the Park.

Having walked 15kms in heat during the day & feeling knackered, the extra 2kms after dark at O'Reillys, Lamington NP, Queensland were rewarded by three Marbled Frogmouth. Having only heard them last night, my bird of the day. 😀

Leave home in the dark, arrive home in the dark. Pleasing to grab any Bird Sightings that I can for the next couple of Months. Merlin just before arriving at work, Red Kites at lunchtime

Would anyone know if any Short-eared Owls are at Wall Common/Steart Marshes this Autumn? I have a possible opportunity to visit from around 2pm. Somerset Birds

A late first winter Red-backed Shrike at Scurrival today, the second on Barra this year after a cracking male in the spring. Also 6 Waxwings at Northbay and one at Creachan plus yet another Jackdaw at Castlebay.
