TUESDAY 4 NOVEMBER
A41 layby,Berryfields, Aylesbury; 1430-1700 (Tim Watts)
With certainty 3 SHORT-EARED OWLS/ MERLIN/BARN OWL/4 COMMON STONECHAT and late on a female or immature HEN HARRIER.
Harrier not seen hunting, infact only really glimpsed interacting with 2 Short-eared Owls, in failing light at 4;30p.m. What I did see was a gleaming white rump as it turned in flightand dived into weedy/rough grass. Expected it to come up with prey, but no, it didn't come up again at all. It is roosting and I know exact spot it went down. Not mega distant from layby, estimate c500mts. I will be there at dawn tomorrow and will point out the spot to anyone who has a look..
Calvert; Adult drake FERRUGINOUS DUCK back on BBOWT lake from 1st hide.
Quainton Hills; c 500 mixed Fieldfare/Redwings ranging over slopes/site tick with adult YELLOW-LEGGED GULL with c 200 L.B.B/ 2 Starling flocks of c1500 plus smaller flocks,
lots of Common Blackbird on lower slopes and home village of Whitchurch solid with them early morning.
Rough grass field nr Waddesdon; pair of COMMON STONECHAT,
