The Little Owl had changed position and posed on the guttering on the SE edge of Kiln Barn Farm Barn, and when he turned his head he was surprisingly camouflaged.
At lunchtime the light had deteriorated and a my photo of the 'Black 5' was spoilt by not being able to use a fast enough shutter speed.
As I returned to work a couple of planes 'growled' over - one a Spit, the other a Harvard I think (help me Twisden)? Steam train & Spit - it was like finding myself back in the 1940s!
I'd seen the 'Harvard' over yesterday as well - any ideas where it's flying from anyone or white the other plane (white dot underneath) is? A Spit and Hurricane had flow over site on Friday afternoon as well - is the Battle of Britain really over?!
Late this evening the Hedgehog paid another visit - blurring caused by the speed it moved (like the train).

There was a 'war and peace' event at paddock wood from the 21st to the 25th July. Could be to do with that ?
Hi Warren, yep the Spit and Hurricane were doing a flyover at Beltring on Friday, but not sure where the spit was off to today?!
Nice Purple Hairstreaks on your blog by the way - where are you seeing them?

Hi there Adam - Glad I was of use. Loved the comment! Ross
Adam - Re PH's I see them in a regenerating piece of Woodland on my patch, just off Cuckoo lane.
Also seen them on a young Oak just outside my house :-)
HI Adam
the spitfire is likely to be "Spirit of Kent,and after a phone call I will let you know what they were doing,and where they were bound.The Harvard has a prop that is nearly supersonic,and has a distinctive noise esp.from beam on.Gary Numan is a proud owner of one.A Spit flyby was hired for a wedding at BH last year but failed to locate it properly!.
