Some birds will have second broods - Yellowhammer for example but, for many, it is over for this year. One still going strong is a local Barn Owl. For the past two weeks I have been visiting a farm and waiting in my hide atop the scaffold. Progress was initially slow but the young are give me a chance. Here is a young bird, almost identical to the adult.After the long wait, the rush of pleasure when a bird appears is hard to put into words.
