Bargaining For The Range

Being in need of some retail therapy I've been pestering Martyn for day's now, begging and pleading that this weekend we might go to "The Range" in Kidderminster. Well the only way I was going to get there was to agree to go birdwatching with him on the afternoon.

So after going shopping and spending more money than I intended (so many goodies, could have spent more, must resist, must resist), we then spent the afternoon walking around the Wyre Forest. I'm sure if you look at Martyn's Blog you'll find an indepth report of all the birds we saw there but my input into the day extends to taking these pictures of a Tawny Owl (sitting next to the trunk).

Are you sure there are birds in this forest??
