I absolutely adore this Pied Wagtail roost in #Bath. It’s mesmerising watching them. And seeing people’s reaction when they realise that they aren’t Christmas decorations 🎄🐦‍⬛

New record for the oldest Barn Owl in Britain and Ireland! 😮 At 18 years old the female was ringed in 2007 in Nottinghamshire when she was a chick before being recorded again in Lincolnshire this year! Read the full story ➡️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/a... #Ornithology #BirdRinging 🪶

The face of a Barn Owl peeks around the brick wall of a barn as it perches on the building window ledge.

Poorest breeding season on record for Kestrels and owls in #Wiltshire. Most Barn Owls haven’t laid eggs yet due to shortage of food. Many adults are in moult so unlikely to breed this year. Kestrels that have bred are feeding their young with birds, and broods are small 🪺🦉

Did you know that Tawny Owls are less vocal on cloudy nights and when it is raining, but more active on nights when the moon is fuller? 🌕 🌧️ This was discovered from data collected for the BTO Tawny Owl Calling Survey. #Winterwatch #Ornithology #Birds

Golden sunset waves at The Cobb in Lyme Regis. I love it here especially in winter. Turnstones, Rock Pipets and wagtails meander along the harbour wall, stopping now and again to look out to sea.

Tawny Owls are quiet tonight as the snow falls in #Bath. The trees in my local park look beautiful with their shadowy branches backlit by the snowy sky. I felt like I was the only one there until I could smell a fox sitting under a hedgerow 🤍🦊

Blakiston’s fish owls are so large that, as adults, they don’t really have natural predators. I’m aware of only one case of predation, when a Eurasian lynx surprised one along a riverbank while it was concentrating on the water & watching for fish 1/4 🌍🦉
