Dawn Chorus

 I had reason to be in the garden at dawn this morning, (don't ask and you
will NEVER guess why) and it was very mild. But what did surprise me was the
Dawn Chorus. I am always awake early, not that I go outside all that often,
but the question I ask is, is there always a Dawn Chorus? I thought it was a
nesting/mating thing.

Never too old to learn

They are so loud here sometimes that if it wasn't for the Double
glazing you would not get any sleep.I'm sure a group of them fly to
different parts of the village in sequence to make their presence
felt. If they were a group of teenagers people would be calling for
Asbos.
Sit outside and watch one occasionally with a night vision
monocular,other day it was on the neighbours shed roof for about half
hour with an occasional swoop into a field.
I was looking at it and it was looking at me the rest of the time.
Didn't seem bothered even though there  was only about 30ft between
us.
Other half wanted to take a picture but I wasn't sure what a flash
would do to an Owls vision so we didn't.

If the roof's a favourite hunting perch you'll get other chances.  
Try putting the camera on a tripod (or rest it on a cushion on a
stepladder) and use a long exposure.
