Took a break from sorting the garage out this afternoon, was stood at the kitchen window with a brew when a female Blackcap visited.
She is my first February tick and puts me on 102 species for the year but more importantly she is species number 48 for Patchwork Challenge 2015.
When I took the kids home tonight, I had a brief glimpse of a Barn Owl in the headlights in Brierly, Herefordshire, reminded me that next weekend I need to visit Salford Priors GP at dusk to search for the Barn Owl that I saw in December. I didn't need to worry though, as I was driving past Pophills the Barn Owl flew up and along the hedgerow, I pulled up and thanks to the moonlight, got to watch it for about 5 minutes flying up and down the hedgerows of the road and the hedge between Pophills and the adjacent field.
That puts me on 49 species for Patchwork Challenge 2015.
