I watched this Hobby hawking Dragonflies over a local lake, where it seemed to be constantly mobbed by the resident Jackdaws.

Roosting Tawny Owls.

I found a lot of  (how shall I put it politely) "Mess" on the ground which could only mean one thing, after a lot of looking I finally saw this couple of Tawny Owls huddled together at the top of a large Hazel tree.
