Dead Tawny Owl at Withens Gap this afternoon. Not sure if it had beeen shot - lots of damage around the chest and neck. Maybe it had flown into a telegraph wire or a fence line?
Cold Edge - 6 Red Grouse, 30 Mallard,1 Kestrel, 1 Reed Bunting, 30 Meadow Pipits, 22 Canada Geese along with the Barnacle Goose in the fields. 23 Fieldfares >S towards Luddenden Dean
Fly Flats -1 Raven on a fence post with a Stonechat 2m away on the fence wire - what a combination - shame I couldn't get a photo but it was raining heavy at the time!
20 Twite and 12 Goldfinches at the feeding station. 2 Red Grouse on the moor and 1 Kestrel over. 6 Stonechats together down the track to the sailing club, occasional mipits and 2 additional Stonechats near the wind farm car park.

Looks like Twite numbers are starting to build up ,as long as the Goldfinch flock dont eat all the seed.Bit of an odd place for a Tawny Owl unless its an Ogden bird.
Topped up the seed again on Monday along with some sunflower hearts so that might keep the Goldfinches happy!? The squirrels destroy everything at home if I put sunflower hearts out so might as well use a few up at Fly.
I tried hard for the Ring Ouzel Brian without success - still one I need for this year!still time I guess but getting tight.
