A Weekend Away

The couple from Ossett had a weekend away in the very north of the old North Yorkshire area, and even nudged into the next county.  Mike was impressed when Glenys located a Long-eared Owl.  This was a lifer for them both.

On Sunday they visited a location on the seashore and found a pair of Stonechats, but only the female came close.

 Unfortunately, the male proved to be a lot more elusive!

Meanwhile, back in God's Own Country one of the course photographers has a leucistic male Great Tit visiting her garden.
