Short-eared Owl,flushed from a stubble field at the foot of the Downs above Birling.
( unusual date and location) most probably a early migrant.
Hi,my name is Alan Woodcock.I have been bird-watching in the area for nearly fifty years and (bird ringing)since 1980.I hope to keep up to date sightings of wildlife I have seen (mainly birds)with occasional diary entries of past times.
Shame it didn't come any closer Alan. Better luck next time. Stay safe. Mike.
