A pleasant weekend at Llawrcwrt NNR. On Saturday a Short eared Owl, the second both in 3 months and 29 years. On Sunday a couple of “pipits” flying in over extensive grassland, turned into Treecreepers on landing in the edge of an oak wood. I don’t think I’ve ever seen two together before, I’ve certainly not recognised them as such flying out in the open.
The Kestrel seems to have been pretty much a fixture since Christmas and has twice been seen stooping, in a fairly half hearted manner at the resident Buzzards.
