Today was my first opportunity to make a quick visit to part of the patch. I went to the Upper Chewell Valley late afternoon hoping to see Barn Owls that have been seen more frequently recently and I still hold out hope of a Short-eared Owl too.
It was a successful visit with one Barn Owl hunting over the long grass alongside the River Cherwell. It was quite late so no chance of a photo but it's pale form obvious in the bright moonlight. A female Kestrel was also hunting in the area and heard (but unfortunately not seen) were several Snipe and some Teal.
