Quick visit to Wanstead for Little Owl.

Brian called in to see us and I suggested we pop over Wanstead flats for the Little Owl.

We only have an hour or so, we park the car and walk to the little copse that we have seen the Owl in last year.

As we get to the edge of the trees Jimmy spots the Owl high up perched in a fork of the tree.

So well worth the trip as we spend some time watching this fabulous little bird.

Just enough time now to look for the Wheatear that has been seen and that is made easier when we meet Marco and he shows us where he had just seen the bird. A quick search of the ploughed-up area soon gets us another year tick when the male bird is seen by a long log
