Another early start at Tophill Low this morning with the main purpose of the visit being to try to photograph the Tawny Owl chicks recently hatched.
On arriving at 5 am I was immediately greeted by the sight of the adult and one chick and having photograhed the chick was able to get the adult later in the afternoon. Great views also of the Kingfisher on North Marsh and encouragingly also of Water Vole despite the recent presence of Mink on the site
