Bar-tailed Godwit and Short-eared Owl

 A rather enjoyable day finding a singing Siberian Chiffchaff, followed up with a cracking male Snow Bunting then finishing with a Short-eared Owl and side helpings of Peregrine, 2500 Pink-feet all day, and a plethora of waders including several juveniles Bar-tailed Godwits, Knot, Turnstones, Black-tails, Dunlin and 24 Avocets
