What a wonderful experience to have him land so close. A good job the window was clean then LOL.

Many years ago I stayed overnight at a B&B just up the road from MM. It had poured with rain during the day and all through the night I think. I woke early and pulled the curtains back to see a BO hunting in the field over the road. We saw another from one of the hides a few hours later. It was great to see them out during the day.

That's the only time I've been there.

A great picture this Chris, well done.
