Hi Patrick,
 
Thank you for bird records from Strasbourg. I like the photo that you took of a Tawny Owl. I had seen one here in London, but the colour is more brown. The one you took is more pale, it is a young stage or in a different morph?.
 
Regards,
 
Shailesh

Dear all,
 
I finally could go birding this morning for the first time here near Strasbourg. In fact it was just near my house in a small forest.
 
I managed to see wonderful birds:
 
Common Starling
Common Kestrel
Eurasian Hobby
Blackcap
Eurasian Treecreeper
Common Blackbird
Eurasian Blue Tit
Great Tit
Great Spotted Woodpecker
Lesser Spotted Woodpecker
Middle Spotted Woodpecker
European Green Woodpecker
Eurasian Magpie
Common Firecrest
Black Redstart
Eurasian Nuthatch
 
The bird of the day was a wonderful Tawny Owl with a great view and good pictures. I've attached one.
 
Tommorrow will be a morning dedicated to water bird. Report to follow.
 
Best for now,
 
Patrick
