On Wednesday I Spent day at Martin Mere, went to buy my Dad a new scope, once all that was over we had an hour walking around, the Marsh Harrier was showing very well and a heron fishing in a near by pool before flying off;

Plenty of other birds knocking around, Ringed Plover, Avocet, Blackwit, Oyster Catcher, Lapwing, Redshank and all the wildfoul and smaller birds that you might expect.

After Tea I decided to have a ride down to Marshide, parking up at Crossens and walking down to the sand plant, such a beautiful evening, I managed to see three Short Eared owls, Which two were relativly close and a merlin weaving around across the marsh.
The Pics arn't that great but here's one the of the Short Eared owls i picked up...
