What a lovely day yesterday was, frosty, cold with beautiful blue sky. We managed to see a Short Eared Owl hunting near Greatham Creek and then today we found a Long Eared Owl at roost on Saltholme reserve. We then decided on the way home to try and find a Little Owl which we did on the road between Redmarshall and Bishopton although it was a stones throw outside the Cleveland boundary. Other birds seen yesterday were Water Rail and White Fronted Goose.
At one point the Owl attacked a Kestrel to try and steal its prey.
