Running with Raptors, Owls and Foxes

My late evening run tonight was over towards Ashton, across the fields and once again there was an interesting selection of wildlife to watch as I ran!

A buzzard flapped lazily across the fields by Hilly Wood and a tawny owl flew across from The Lawns and into the Jubilee Wood on the Ashton Road. It is relativley unusual to see a tawny out in the open, flying across fields, but they are noticeably larger and darker than barn owls.

Finally there was a fox sniffing around by Royce Wood as I ran back home in the fading light.
