Long-eared Owl and White-tailed Eagle: jamming in!

Linda needed to visit the visitors' centre at Cley to discuss placing her bee products there, so we grabbed the chance for a couple of hours birding afterwards

We spent a while checking the various groups of Brents on the Eye Field: no obvious candidates for Pale-bellied, but one Dark-bellied looked like it might have had a bit of Brant in its genes!

As we were leaving Cley, the pager announced that the Long-eared Owl was again showing at Cley Spy at Glandford: two minutes later we were watching it dozing in its favoured bit of hedge!

We moved westwards to Holkham, stopping at the two ad-hoc pull-ins to add White-fronted Goose and White-tailed Eagle to the day's tally.

Last stop was Stiffkey, where a kind gent from Ely let me view the Pallid Harrier through his scope!
