We tried the Tawny Owl tape lure again first thing in very foggy conditions, and although an owl
was responding to the tape for a short time, we didn’t catch any owls.
After that, we caught very little in the way of passerines, c25 birds in total. Mostly the usual
suspects - Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long-tailed Tit, Robin and Dunnock. One new Chaffinch and a
new Blackbird were the highlights. The male Blackbird in particular had an unusual feather pattern, with brown bars across the primary coverts and primaries, reminiscent of tortoiseshell.
