Cress Marsh 2021

Good spot with the Barny Jon.
I am hoping my camera trap picked him, or at least something up on the gate perch post.

19th September
Weather: Overcast, cool, SE breeze
Time on site: 06:20-08:00

An early morning visit to site today, produced my second only record of Barn Owl at Cress Marsh. List of species recorded during my visit:

Will look out for that Nick, and hope you get lucky with the owl. Thanks again.

No problem Phil. It will be near the book.
BTW, thats my camera trap at the last gate. We think an owl is using the opposite post as a perch, so I have left the trap there for a couple of days to see what happens.

Hi Nick,
Just checked my camera and once again this eyepiece bit has come off. I'll pick it up after your Monday visit. Many thanks for finding it.

Regards

Phil

Just had an hour at Cress, and while on path back to car I found this Nikon part. Will put in hide on next visit, which will probably be Monday afternoon.
