@alantilmouth Alan, Sorry, that's all I was told. It seemed 'accustomed' to human presence, hence proximity of photo.

Great Horned Owl nr. Grafham Water today- 'imported' from America 20 years ago & lived wild here since! Got a lucky full-frontal shot.

@MarkyBike It was ME trespassing on Bubbenhall Meadows yesterday, in my lovely new white hat!!
Apologies - won't happen again!
Is there a notice at the entrance giving the rules?
Heard many cuckoos & green woodies, but saw none. @rotaryppphil

Cannock today with @JamesTimms5 (q.v.): close-ups of common-but-beautiful species, plus natural wood sculpture. Also an attempt to capture the Courtleet-road (Coventry) coal-tit. Will try harder! @NatureUK @Britnatureguide @Staffsbirdnews @WestMidBirdClub

Best snaps I could manage of gratifyingly large numbers of crossbills on Cannock Chase on Sunday, with @JamesTimms5 & others. They saw the two-bar while I was napping before the drive home - boo-hoo! @NatureUK @Britnatureguide @WestMidBirdClub @WestMidsBirding @WildlifeTrusts

Attempted, with @JamesTimms5 to photograph the LongEared Owls at @DeepinLakebirds @lincsbirders. Also GreatGrey Shrike at Hanging Houghton. Jim, your Owl photo is no worse than mine & your cone photo is miles better than my Shrike photo! @NatureUK @Britnatureguide #Lincolnshire

[Philip John Hodgson @rotaryppphil]

[Philip John Hodgson @rotaryppphil]
