Cold, wet and dark here in Filey today, but dragged myself over to the Dams for half an hour (thanks to eBird, or more specifically, to avoiding a break in daily checklists); glad I did, with a male Goosander looking regal on the area of unfrozen water before heading east, and then a spine-tingling fly-by from one of the local Barn Owls - straight towards me and
very close past me, despite being fully aware of my presence and staring me down....
....today's outdoor attire (Jerusalem Bird Obs owl hoodie) - coincidence or lure....?
