Had a walk along walmer beach and around the meadow next to the castle this evening, saw very little, only a couple of Jays and a few usual birds. So i wizzed up to the Golf course to look for Owls. I found a Little Owl resting on the Chequers inn, and followed it as it moved to the other side. I got a good close up, he didnt seem very friendly, frowning away. He flew up over my head and was gone back toward the barn. A nice close up for a change. I finished at the 12th hole, where i stood still on the ancient highway for half an hour. A pair of Meadow pipits were really close, 15 metres at best, and 8 Linnets were flying around me chasing each other. A skylark also came very close singing on the ground and was met by another 1. So i had some really good close ups of all 3, and then realised on the way home, i forgot to get me camera out. Not to worry, it turned into a good couple of hours after a slow start. Hope you've had a good weekend, Mick
