Friday 10th January: The Burgh revisited
A lovely sunny afternoon and we met our friend Sue at The Burgh to search for a Merlin or Hen Harrier. We did not manage either! However, there were plenty of Red Kites about and their beautiful colours were showing brilliantly as they displayed gracefully across the skies.
I managed to add Red-legged Partridge to the annual list and we also had some further sightings of Grey Partridge which were calling continually from the field margins. Finally we had a lovely view of the Barn Owl resting on a fence post for a minute, before silently disappearing over the hedgerow and out of sight. We caught several more glimpses of this stunning bird as we returned to the car.
