3rd time lucky

well on my 3rd try for long eared owl i hit lucky.
this bird was sat here when i got out of the car and the young bird was calling constantly.

this was last of the calderdale breeding birds for my year list,a long time coming but worth it.
well done to nick d and everyone for the big effort they have put in this summer in locating these very secretive birds.

its no secret im going for andys year list record,so at 139 with 6 to to equal and 5 months left and green withens has not yet peaked,i hope for a good autumn.
