Howls, Owls and Dips

Didn't manage to see the Nuthatch on the trail today... I was hoping to get a photo. Signs that the kestrel had been around again, were in the form of a late sheep. It was tempting to just hang around for the return to get a shot of the Kestrel, but I thought better of it. The wind was wet, wild and cold and by this stage I was almost ready to head home but not before I stopped by the overgrown sheep dip to take a few pictures.
The dip didn't appear to be alive with life as I was hoping. My timing must have been off. I'll visit another time, I did see a bird in there, but it was too shy and fast for my lens.
Spotted a couple of Squirrels, one in the pasture with the sheep, the other scurrying across a large muddy, recently ploughed wheat field, both looked very much out of place, so I thought worth a mention.
I was also on the lookout for Owls, Barn Owls or a little Owl maybe? Also as dusk was starting to creep up on me, the more nocturnal Owls or mammals.
I only seemed to hear birds today, didn't really see any to speak of, apart from flocks of Wood Pigeons and a large flock of Starlings, and a family of song birds flying high in to a large tree, could only make out the silhouette, I think staying around to observe that situation would have taken a lot more effort, strength and time than I could afford.
Spotted some long-tailed tits on the way home, but the day was late, my arm tired, and there position now unknown, so it was impossible to attempt to rattle of some film. Plus the batteries in my camera were not very strong. I did hang around for a bit, just to get another glimpse, they were in flight previously, darting into the wood. But they were now long gone, as was I, enjoying a pleasant stroll home.
