I went up on the Farmers' land last night to do a bit of pest control and saw some amazing things! First up was, I believe, a kestrel that was flying about 10 metres above me for 10 minutes or so. It was strange as I first saw him on the fence eating something, and then he jumped down and was running along the ground! Didn't have my camera I'm afraid, but it is the second time I've seen him up there. At least I think it was a him, I looked on the net and it seems right looking at the wings.
I also saw a massive hare, tried creeping up for a good look, but it ran off. So far, pretty awesome. Then I heard two hedgehogs getting it on! Not quite so awesome! Next was a loud screeching noise, I think it was an owl as I've seen one up there before and it was massive! Didn't see it last night though.
So that was my night. When I investigated the fence where the kestrel had been, I found this feather, but not the guitar! Can anyone confirm that it was definitely a kestrel? Looking at the way the feather curves in cross section, I'm guessing it is a wing feather as opposed to a tail which I believe are banded all the way across anyway. Cheers for looking!
