Bowland biking and back to Sconce

On Saturday I had a day's easy mountainbiking with my partner at Gisburn Forest near Tosside in Lancashire. It's a great place to visit, close to the Yorkshire Dales and the Trough of Bowland. Ideal outdoor activities and wildlife watching territory.

In the evening we went back to Sconce Lane to get on to the Little owl again to see if I could get some photos. Here's what I came up with.

Perhaps the highlight though was the Short-eared owl which quartered the moor within 50 meters of us and the drumming Snipe passing overhead. Both "amber list" species.
