This evening Mike rang me with news of the best bird he has found on his patch this year. A Short-eared Owl. I gather he flushed it from the south end of Middle Spernal, and had good views at dusk. He also had a second Owlish tick as a Tawny Owl was hooting.
Clearly Mike doesn't normally go in for dusk visits.
My self imposed abstention from mid-week patch visits means that the only news from Morton Bagot came from Matt Willmott on Tuesday. He had a good count of 92 Teal, plus nine Snipe and two Green Sandpipers.
