After the rain many birds & Perleugle.

The rain had stopped today and we bagged a very healthy 329 new birds. The total was swelled by the numbers of Robins (137), Goldcrest (67) and Wren (53). It was very pleasing to catch 30 Blackbirds but our favourite has to be the Tengmalm's Owl (Perleugle). We have tried for these on several evenings but this was our first successful capture.

 Tengmalm's Owl age 5 / Perleugle 2k

 Pattern of flight feather replacement shows this to be a second year bird.

Good birding!
