A Buzzard flew up as I arrived at 1pm. After a cup of tea with Mick and Chris Sayer we saw a Sparrowhawk on the fence below and at least 3 Kestrels were operating on the hillside as we arrived at the Short-eared watch point.
Little Owl was almost hidden in the pallets and about 12 Goldfinch were feeding nearby. A Goldcrest was seen with a group of Longtailed Tits, Grey Partridge called in the distance and a Fox made an appearance. With about 10 photographers in position we had to wait until 3pm before the first of 2 Short-eared's appeared. By that time the sun was covered in cloud and was poor for photography so by 3.45pm most people including me returned for another cuppa with Mick. Only Lynz Harston remained until dusk managing to see 5 Short-eared's in the air together.
