A much improved day weatherwise and it was good to get out for a walk on a calm day without the strong wind. We got out early and found a Short Eared Owl sat on a fencepost at Holme Fleet with another flying close by. A Kingfisher flew past and a male Marsh Harrier was also over the marsh not far away. The Great Grey Shrike was showing well along Greatham Creek, although always distant. Two Barn Owls were perched on the box when we arrived but soon disappeared into their home. The Buzzard was also around but it too was always distant. A Sparrowhawk did a fly by for us. On seal sands there were good numbers of Grey Plover and Red Breasted Merganser.

Couldn't resist taking a picture of this flower making the most of the sunshine on such a cold day along Greatham Creek.
