Tawny Surprise

Early Saturday morning and the sun was out so it was another early morning start. We went out hoping to get some Green woodpeckers but after a few hours things seemed quiet. We were told about a sighting of a tawny owl so without a second thought off we went on the hunt for the tawny owl. It didn't take us long to find the location and the Tawny was showing well. The light was very tricky due to the canopy of the trees and the sun but I am happy with the outcome. A quick call to our friend Ian and within 5 mins he was making the 80 mile trip north to meet with Ken and myself. A slow start in the morning but it was well worth getting up for.
