More likely the colder weather, provided people are being sensible.

Hordes of photographers today, but only one late-appearing owl. Are we starting to scare them off? Ring tail harrier seen a few times in the field bordering Wall Common.

Up to 7 Short Eared Owls at Steart in the fields just before Wall Common at the weekend, plus a female Hen Harrier and a passing Brambling!
Lots of Skylarks present too, always a delight to see! 😊
