I decided to avoid the crowds today and stay local.
Crawley
The Rose-coloured Starling was showing superbly mid-morning at Beachy Road.
Horse Eye Levels
After lunch I made my way down to Horse Eye Levels to be in good time to see the owls. After a very wet day yesterday I was confident of a sighting today. - Just after 2.30 p.m. the first Short-eared Owl appeared, flying close by. It then landed on the ground and I was able to get a really good view.
- About 10 minutes later 2 of them flew by, again offering great views.
- As I made my way to the car I got a third sighting - this time a single bird flying in the field to the south of me.
- There were no signs of any Harriers, Hen or Marsh.
I only managed to add 6 new species today but 2 of them were rather special and my afternoon on the Pevensey Levels was awesome.
