This morning gave an increase in temperature; no gloves required. From Tescos to home via Hadham Hall gave excellent, albeit brief views of a flyby kingfisher (1st since 2010) and a barn owl roosting in a tree hole. The owl, having seen me, quickly disappeared further into the tree so just 1 disappointing photo taken. However, judging by pellets (20+) it is at a favourite roost spot so I shall return to improve on the photo. Also seen, coal, great, blue and long tailed tits, common buzzard, kestrel, gold, green and chaffinch along with yellowhammer, skylark, stock dove and black headed gull. A great spotted woodpecker was heard drumming at Hadham Hall. In all 30 species, with the kingfisher and coal tit being new for me in 2012, taking my year list of British birds to 108 species
