Yesterday when I was at Yarner Wood I heard about some TAWNY OWL that had been seen for the last 2 days & as I have never photographed this specie before I was back again first thing this morning & low & behold one of the owls flew across the path & landed in a tree & I managed to get these two shots of it .
I also saw 2 COMMON REDSTART & got this shot of a nice Male , 4 Male & 3 Female PIED FLYCATCHER , 4 WOOD WARBLER , 2 CHIFFCHAFF , 2 WILLOW WARBLER, 4 TREECREEPER , 2 RAVEN & a TREE PIPIT .
On the way home I stopped off at Splatford near to Haldon Forest & saw 2 TURTLE DOVE .
In the evening I got a phone call telling me that there was a WHISKERED TERN on Exminster Marsh ! so I shot over there only to be told that it had flown down the Exe Estuary 5 minutes ago , but there was a HOBBY that was sat on a fence .
Then we got a call saying that the WHISKERED TERN was off of Starcross so it was a mad dash down to there & yippee it was still there flying up & down the estuary with BLACK HEADED GULL`S .
