Bembridge - evening

Driving along I spotted this short-eared owl perched on the roadside fence near the airport. Only had my bins and phone camera at hand - got some record shots at least. Seemed content there and unfazed by the passing traffic.







Shorty - bottom pic shows the diagnostic thicker barring on its tail along with the white trailing edge on the wings, thus distinguishing it from the similar looking long-eared owl.


Brading NR - A.M - sunny

4 x hirundines over the marsh, distant, but one appeared to be a house martin (just about made out the white rump)

jay - one of four pitched in at Laundry lane
