A Short-eared Owl closer to home - and a year tick!

Birding chum Brian Tubby sent me a terrific photo of a Short-eared Owl he'd taken at a traditional spot at Halvergate: this was all the excuse Linda and I needed to pop down for an hour after lunch. We were quite surprised that there were no Cattle Egrets - just a solitary Little Egret - but I was pleased to add White-fronted Goose to the year list, lurking among the squillions of Pinkfeet! (I had hoped to reach 100 by the end of January - so near, yet so far!)

We did see a Shortie, but it was distant and flighty, so I've used Brian's amazing photo instead!
