Highlight of the morning was my first decent sighting of a Tawny Owl in Lodge Gardens. A few Blackbird were alarm calling, and a Song Thrush joined in two. Just as I'd come to the conclusion it must be a Tawny Owl, it flew out of a tree being chased by the thrushes. The chase went from tree to tree, before the owl settled near the top of a tall holly-like tree, in a spot that permitted a reasonably good view of the bird. Nothing much else to note. Four Nuthatch, a couple of Great Spotted Woodpecker, and Skylark, Meadow Pipit and a Brown Hare on the Pit Tip Top.
