Sunday 12th June (evening) - Shenstone

I had been out and about listening for non-existent Quails this evening and on my way home I decided to cut through Shenstone to see if I could perhaps see the Little Owl again.  It was a no show but as I was driving past Stanklyn Wood (at approx. 9:50pm) a Tawny Owl flew across in front of me and perched for a few minutes in a tree at the roadside...what a result.  It is only the second Tawny that I've managed to see on the patch so needless to say I went home a happy man.

I've got no record photos of this particular Tawny Owl to post on the blog...so here is one I prepared earlier!

    Thanks Dean.

    Warren, I was really pleased as I usually only hear them and not see them so this was a real bonus.

    What a photo opportunity, Jason! You were fortunate to be in a position to snap this owl.

    Yes, I realised after I posted the comment - still, never mind. I will just have to learn to read posts properly.

    Mike.

    Hehe...no worries Mike. I think we all do it at times when it comes to reading blogs.
