I spent the morning again in East Cheshire in blizzard conditions at an undisclosed site and got cracking views of a Long-eared owl. Only one bird showed after an extensive search, but it's nice to know the birds are still present in the area.
Moving on from here, 2 Marsh tits were seen in the Bickerton area along with a good selection of woodland birds.
A Barn owl put in a brief appearance as I walked around Goldfinch Meadows reserve as the light was fading, and up to 4 Common snipe were seen along with good numbers of Eurasian Teal and 4 Shoveler. #LOCALBIGYEAR
