Poking About At Shipley
October 31, 2010 in Sightings, The Bennerley Birders Pages by DaveJ
A nice day, a nice steady bit of birding but still no water back at bennerley, just a lone Grey Heron and a few Wood Pigeon. Stretched the legs as far as Shipley Park, circumnavigated the lake, took a couple of snaps, the light was not good and so I decided to go poking and prodding about in the undergrowth looking for likely locations for Woodcock and Owls, Woodcock habitat is fairly plentiful so I'm hopeful there for a connection in the new year, plenty of Owl hide a ways too, especially Tawny.
With night falling I headed of the the old car parks area, poured a cup of tea and waited, hopefully for Short Eared Owl but the only thing happening was wave after wave of Jackdaw heading for Mapperley Reservoir. I think it will have to get a little colder for Short Eared Owl, I’ll try again when the brass monkey beckons !
