Well the chance of some Long-eared Owl photos had me heading North for the 3rd time this week,destination Blacktoft Sands,East Yorks a slight detour on the way to pick Rich Dawkins & Mandy West up from Barton-upon-Humber & we were on our way by 9:30 we'd had good views but very hard work for photography with all the branches etc in the way but mustn't complain! drove back down to South Ferribt dipped the RL Buzzard then onto Worlaby Carrs where we only had 1 Short-eared Owl (very distant) in about 4hrs of watching leaving a lot of birders/photographers rather fed up & just a little cold!!
