Undisclosed site

Went out looking and listening for long eared owl with Andy H at a new site with huge potential. However, got no LEO's possibly due to fairly constant disturbance from motorbikes zooming randomly across the moorland habitat.

- 100+ swifts feeding
- 1 male reed bunting, looking as though he was defending a nest
- 12+ meadow pipits
- skylark calling
- 1 tawny owl calling
- 1 fox
- 1 short eared owl spotted from the car on the way over. Caught a small rodent, then sat on a fence post eating it (Andy - any pics worth posting?)
