A combined shopping family walking outing allowed some pre dusk time on the new wood of Heartwood - as featured on countryfile!
A quick pace from the car park up to the open land instantly produced a SHORT EARED OWL. I spent about 10 mins trying to get close to it - amazing that they hunt in the company of humans and dogs!
Another 2 SEO's showing well.
What a great place for fantastic views of this beautiful species
Returned with the family half hour after the sightings but all gone!
