More photos from the trip to Rutland Water in July
More than an hour before sunset, a Barn Owl suddenly appeared from behind a hedge 50m away. Flying along the hedge line...
...it turned and disappeared into the next field. Despite the brief view, this beautiful owl was the highlight of my day.
Earlier we watched the Manton Bay Ospreys (at a distance) with the 2 juveniles mainly sitting in the nest making occasional short early training flights. I understand that the Osprey in the photo was an adult cleaning talons and leg feathers by dipping them into the water as it returned to the nest area.
