Finally! Good views of the Flying Cats of Claxton!

Still dripping with man-flu, I really needed a walk, so had a plod around Strumpshaw. The only interesting things I met were Mark and Norman, so (since the Sun was threatening to break out) I decided to have a last bash at the Short-eared Owls.

Waiting patiently on the bank in the sunshine were Nick and journalist Liz: pleasant chats about birds until an SEO finally graced us with close fly-bys. (Liz's camera seemed to be malfunctioning: I really hope she got some shots of the bird after I left......)
