After a prompt from Pete, I am of the same conclusion that the owl from yesterday was after all a long eared owl.........life tick!
Felt a little better today so decided to have a drive to Whitstable Tesco to try and see the waxwings before they disappear. I had a look around for a while and then found a small flock of about 10 birds which showed for approx 5 mins before flying off again, weather was so dark and grey today that I couldn't get any half decent pics. Drove back through Seasalter, stopping for 2 mins near the Sportsman for a quick look over the sea wall where there were curlew, redshank, turnstone and grey plover and lapwing on the marsh.
