Woodoaks Farm

An early evening visit produced the following species of note:-
Little Owl (2), Green Woodpecker (1), Barn Swallow (4), Northern Wheatear (1), Common Linnet (8).
At the Heronsgate side of the farm a bird that I first thought was a distant Whinchat turned out to be in fact an immature Northern Wheatear.

I then drove to the Maple Cross end of the farm where I had fantastic views of two Little Owl that were present near the horse paddock below the old orchard.
