Fowlemere

A pair of Long-eared Owls plus a possible additional male were the obvious highlight at Fowlmere this evening. Tipped off about them at lunchtime, one male was seen very closely from the Spring hide at dusk. Much calling and some flight views of it or possibly another male (there seemed to be two calling) were seen over the next half an hour before it got too dark to see. A female was heard as we left the hide.

Tom also had a good claim of an Otter (although Mink are also present.) In addition a White Hart was seen amongst the Fallow Deer!
