Short-eared show-off

The joyous weekly trip to Morrisons was delayed with a quick trip to Cotham Flash this evening. At least 2, and possibly 3 Short-eared Owls were present, one allowing me to approach incredibly close, periodically scrutinising me with its amazing yellow eyes. Probably the best views of a SEO I've ever had; I beat a retreat before it got too annoyed with me though. Not a good night to forget my camera... Also present were at least 6 Snipe and 2 Ringed Plovers on the field pools, with a single Sand Martin briefly. Definately better than the weekly shop...
