The little owls remain in the same area and I have been seeing them almost daily. There were at least 2 fledged young up to a week ago (you can see a couple of my very amateur pics here)
Yesterday (Monday) there was a Mediterranean gull feeding in the arable field alongside commoner gulls and hordes of jackdaws and a few rooks & carrion crows. Today there were in excess of 50 rooks there – surely a record count for this area?
Add to the mix in the arable field a “cloud of shelduck” (Philip’s description). Seen a couple of ays ago flying around on the west side of the field, briefly settling.
