Misty morning

Two visits to Sunk Island. One yesterday, late afternoon till dusk. Whilst trawling the roads I racked up a young Marsh Harrier, Short-eared Owl, 3 Barn Owls, a Sparrowhawk and 8 Kestrels. Interestingly, a Hen Harrier was reported but I didn't see it.

5.05pm

This morning...nothing in 3 hours!!!

Finished off the morning with a visit to Long Bank, Kilnsea. Stopped briefly for a peep at "the swans"...

Whoopers
Followed up by a walk around Long Bank Marsh. Thick mist and bitter cold...but plenty of Brents present...




Sadly I came across a few Grass Snakes that had succumbed to the tidal surge...



I was thinking of re-visiting the Yellow-rumped Warbler tomorrow...but it looks like it's departed...

Nice set of shots. Nice to see so many Barn Owls around your way. It seems to have been a bad year down south for them.
