The shock of a Monday morning journey to work was softened by a Little Owl flying away from the A5 near Little Brickhill.
Meanwhile my policy of trying to avoid the more well known sites West of Milton Keynes like Foxcote and Calvert seems to be paying off.. Too many extremely difficult ducks knocking around for my idea of fun! A hybrid resembling Lesser Scaup, and a Drake Blue-Winged Teal that is now being considered as a hybrid Australian Shoveler both turned up over the weekend. The good thing is that there are some reasonably good photos knocking about, and the subsequent debate certainly improves our knowledge I guess.
