IT IS BEING WORKED ON SO PLEASE TUNE IN
So,
that's Christmas over for another year, rather nice that we got another
one in! A heavy morning frost turned into a bright sunny day, but still
we have been confined to barracks so another case of 'All Our
Yesterdays' again. If there was one regret during my 20 years 'birding'
in the North Sea from the safety of an Oil Rig, it has to be not honing
the skills of video recording and taking much more footage, To name just
one opportunity missed, when from behind the cover of a winch I
observed a Long-eared Owl catch a Purple Sandpiper 'on the wing' and
land just a matter of feet away. Firstly, it decapitated the hapless
Wader before deftly removing both legs and wings before swallowing the
remainder whole. These mainly short clips, taken 120 miles north east of
Aberdeen, may be of interest to Mariner and Land Lubber alike!
