It was supposed to be at least partly sunny up at the owl field this afternoon, but as you can see, it wasn’t. It was also supposed to be reasonably warm, and it wasn’t that either. And as for owls… … Continued

I had stuff to do this morning, including running errands with R in Stratford, and I didn’t make it up to the owl field until just after 2pm, by which time it was impossible to park in the lane. Driving … Continued

Here’s the thing about Short-eared Owls: they’re tricksy. You can look at the weather forecast, check the wind speed, calculate how long you reckon they might have to feed themselves up before migrating northwards again, and think that today you’re … Continued

This morning I did my weekly web site update, then made up some butter bean stew (always known in this family, for reasons, as ‘slunge’) in the slow cooker, and finally prepped a third batch of marmalade. Then R and … Continued

“Too windy for owls,” said one person after another this afternoon – all trying to convince ourselves that it wasn’t too windy for owls ackshully, and they would definitely come out sooner or later to do some hunting in the … Continued

The Met Office promised late sunshine up on the Cotswold scarp, but it never materialised, and the light was pretty poor throughout the session. Several of the usual suspects were circling the owl field, including Sheol and Hillyblips, and it … Continued

I didn’t have the best day with the camera today, but I’m still happy to have spent the afternoon up at the owl field. As Hillyblips suggests in her post, we tried a couple of different shooting spots without ever … Continued

Vole’s eye view

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Gloucestershire | 0

Conditions were a little tricky at the owl field this afternoon: there were five owls in the air (good), but they kept getting into conflict with each other and flying high, rather than hunting low across the field (bad), and … Continued
