Spent late afternoon up until dusk in the North Downs between Hungerford, Marlborough and Andover. So much quality countryside here with a chance of rare breeders and scarce farmland species. Found some superb areas of habitat, but had to be content with Grey Partridge, Yellowhammer, Red Kite, Meadow Pipit and Whitethroat on this occasion. Quite a bit of Young Tawny owl activity as night descended. Had considered Some bat detector time, but had forgotten to bring batteries.. Also, the church steeples that I examined all had chicken wire blocking the entrance slits, so Horseshoe bats, which would be right on the edge of their range here I guess, would be unable to make use of them. I suppose if I find a church with unblocked slits, then the chances of it being occupied would be quite good.
Nice addition to the garden wildlife list.
Nice addition to the garden wildlife list. Seen regularly most mornings, but took a few attempts to confirm as Yellow Necked. Eventually caught him in a humane trap for a quick close up look. #Mammals, #trailcam http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKBY3ZSeN6c
