Scammonden this evening




From the footpath along the dam wall of Dean Head Reservoir. 14.00 -16.45




Short-eared owl 3


hunting at the top of the valley at dusk some fantastic fairly close views perched and in flight. Two birds were flying from 14.15 coming up the valley one picked up over Scammonden Dam perhaps suggesting a movement into the valley this afternoon.




Lond-eared Owl 1


Hunting the southern valley slope and often perching on the fence posts at the side of the footpath. Came incredably close hovering only 10 m away
