By the time I got there time was moving on and the sun was lightly covered. Wind was behind for viewing so not as cold as of sometimes.
About 100 meters before the viewing area an owl appeared very low and as usual not much warning. But the view was good enough for the first of the SHORT EARED OWLS. In all I saw three SEO bur most at great distance. But one was in LLL.
The only ROUGH LEGGED BUZZARD was well of. In fact he was nearer to Berney Arms than to me. I had to wait an hour for him to fly and gain a real id on him.
See what I mean by distant, but again it's there, or he was for short time. He was occasionally given grief by a SEO but most of the time it was on the ground and back up again. I also had a closer view on 2 COMMON BUZZARD, but the real good one was a ring tailed HEN HARRHIER which came of LLL and headed of across the river onto Haddiscoe Island. I also had a single BARN OWL from LLL which headed in the same direction. 2 KESTRELS and 4 EGYPTION GEESE as well as 2 OYSTERCATCHER and a single LITTLE EGERET. In the wood on the way back a small flock of GOLDFINCH, BLUE TIT and GREAT TIT as well as several BLACKBIRD which if you were to ask me are getting ready to clear, as were the 9 REDWING with only one viewable but what a bird. In the Paddocks at Redwings assume 300 plus FIELDFARE.
