1st November 2015 - Topsham
A walk around Highfield Farm, Topsham yesterday produced a Firecrest - views too brief and light too dark for photos - and this Short-eared Owl, flushed from the wet meadows by the river. It got up just a few metres away and settled at only a short distance atop a hedge. Before we could approach the local Jackdaws took real objection to it and chased it off down the valley, I lost it in the distance over Darts Farm - maybe still in the area?
Both Firecrest and Short-eared Owl new birds for the Farm, though oddly I've recorded both from our garden which is just a stone's throw away.
