189 Pinkfeet, Barn Owl

Once again a rather dull day, but I was in the hide when I heard Pinkfeet. I dashed out and managed to find a gap between the trees to view the skein as it went overhead, heading North-East. (All the Pinkfeet of late seem to be heading in this general direction).  After reviewing the photo, it seems there were 189.

Further round, at the Dam Wall, the Barn Owl was again in the same area, perched on the fence beneath the Oak Trees.
