This shot whilst not as good as those I would take later further down the lane, has a lovely soft feel created by the first rays of a new day.

On reviewing my pics from last week, I realised I had actually filmed both the upper barn owls.

These two shots were from my first encounter of the day. He flew off down the lane, having watched me for a few minutes, as I crouched down by a farm gate.

When I came across his partner a few minutes later, I incorrectly assumed they were the same bird.

This is the nest that has been lovingly built in the Laundry Outhouse at our farm... A very busy place but mum has raised four beautiful chicks in there despite the comings and goings!

I was watching Springwatch this evening and got a feeling of deja vu when I saw the Snipe photo on the back of their cue cards, and on the screen at the back of Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan. I don't mind the BBC using my photograph but it would have been nice to have been credited.

I took the photograph in Upper Teesdale four years ago.

My spider has come home to roost. A very big thank you to Terry Bagley (top bloke), who had hatched a plan with Lucy 'Lapwing' Hodson to get our Q-cards out of Springwatch HQ... and signed by Chris and Meg !!
