Took a walk along Burton Marsh up to the Harp Inn pub today to try and see a Short-eared owl, which is being seen down there on a daily basis. The bird showed well after I found it and had a good fly around before being mobbed by a group of Carrion crows.

Up to 14 Little egrets were counted during the walk, and good numbers of Wigeon were on Decca pools

Anyway, nice afternoon stroll, roll on the 1st January and get the old year list going!
