Maybe more time to devote to Little Owls?David M.

It was an absolute delight with the little girl bless her, its the first time we have had tears in the hide.<br />The Osprey in 10 does not appear to be one of our birds, no sign of a ring, so more than likely a Scottish bird on a late migration.<br />The traction engines were such a lucky find that I found fascinating to watch.<br />Its always good to see some waders but with the Ruff the will soon be away South.<br />Glad you enjoyed the choices.<br /><br />Regards to you and have a good week.

Nice to see the praying kestrel but ...... photo 10 of the flying osprey is super !!!! What a beautiful moment to see this bird fly over.<br />The old land machines are also really nice to see :-)<br />The ruffs and the snippets are so nice but also the Greenshank is great.<br />You have placed a beautiful series again John :-)<br /><br />Kind regards, HelmaHelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01669041021568049241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743646701098031420.post-45766864421116031692018-09-18T19:48:08.242+01:002018-09-18T19:48:08.242+01:00Hi Margaret,
Glad you enjoyed the traction engines...Hi Margaret,<br />Glad you enjoyed the traction engines, it was fascinating to watch, appears considerably more difficult to keep a straight furrow than the ploughing today.<br />It is a quiet time at the moment at Rutland but its always good to see a few waders but such as the Ruff won't stay around for long.<br />With the tracked Ospreys we have on already on her beach in Senegal. One male is in Guinea-Bissau and another is way up river in Gambia, he still however may not have finished his journey.<br />I hope to find more things of interest in fact it has not been a bad week at all so watch for the next post.<br />All the best and see you both soon, John Titus John Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02257227880929684276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743646701098031420.post-49383513669407186692018-09-18T17:22:02.965+01:002018-09-18T17:22:02.965+01:00You have managed to get something different again,...You have managed to get something different again, coming across the traction engines and ploughing match. Just a bit before my time! But father did plough with horse and single furrow plough.<br />Love the shots of moorhens and wading birds. The Kestrel and Osprey beautiful!<br />Goodbye to Ospreys and hoping for safe journeys to all.<br />No doubt you will find lots of other things to interest. Hope for plenty of Owls!
