A short-eared owl is showing well from the Draper hide right now! Its been there since 11.00am.
This is the highlight of the BigVis. Arrived at the reserve at 7.00am in the pouring rain! Stuck it out till 10.30. Had 81 redwing, 3 meadow pipits 2 grey wagtails 2 chaffinch 25 starlings and 28 lapwings. Fortunately the short-eared owl made it all worthwhile.
Also 152 snipe on Lagoon 1 from the Tern Hide.
Keeping warm now in the office.
