2nd walk of the day

After lunch I checked out the area east and north of Hadham Hall. The 2 barn owls and tawny owl were both in residence again, in the same tree and a pied wagtail got on to the day list, as did coot and moorhen, taking the list to a total of 39 species.
Following this I popped over to Millennium Wood, where the 2 resident buzzards were aerial and 2 chiffchaffs called. The highlight of this visit was a first sight and sound for the year. A very dark silhouette shown here.
