Steve Hinton said...

Big thankyou to the farmer!

Meehan said...

Please note - The farmer stressed that *nobody* was to enter the field without his permission.

MITCH said...

Nice shots,i'm tempted to go myself but the weather's looking shit.How much did you have to give the farmer?

Steve Hinton said...

Mitch, he came over to see what was going on, after we explained he let me go a bit closer, though reluctantly! You have to view from the fence. When we arrived it was about 200 yds away but came closer. Worth seeing anyway!

How much did you have to give the farmer? Allegedly he asked for a really good set of pictures of Little Owl. Steve didn't have any, but luckily I'd given Steve a set my nan had taken somewhere down the foreshore and the farmer let him in the field. That's true that is.

Found 2 recently fledged Little owl on private land this morning sat on a log pile, no camera, wouldn`t have been quick enough anyway. Also a Barn Owl near my house at 9 pm last week apparently!

Meehan said...

The farmer has re-sressed that nobody is to enter the field without gaining permission. Please view from the car park only.

Richard Crossen appears to have managed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Contest what contest its all over!
Shit hot pics - I say.
How many people will be at the farmer's door on Saturday morning?

MITCH said...

I wont,i'll be in Cornwall this weekend.

Jeff said...

Congrats to Steve on getting his LGS photo on BIRDGUIDES review of the week,nice one.

Steve Hinton said...

Well done to Cliff Woodhead getting his photo of him up a ladder in Birding World at the White T Robin twitch!

Meehan said...

Well done to the farmer for being so accommodating! What a guy! Still view from the car park, and do not enter the field without gaining permission. Thank you and goodnight.

you ve got to be joking Steve, if its true then it must be the demure young lady straddling the wall they wanted, though dont tell Seymour, he gets very excited about these things, tara

If anyone is interested, there are some in-focus shots of this bird now on Birdguides.
