Tubney Fen - again

This time Barbara J was with me, in the afternoon.   It was interesting for her as she had been taken there in the summer as an Adviser to the National Trust and subsequently I got the benefit of hearing something of the long term thinking about the macro management of the Fen as envisaged by The Trust.   Thankfully we did see a Short Eared Owl but not before we had been entertained by a couple of Konik Ponies.    The colour palette of a Short Eared Owl, Konik Pony and a Reed Bed in the winter provides such camouflage, and the warmth of the light dissipated as the gloaming increased.
