Long-eared Owl and Great Grey Shrike

Went to Fowlmere in the morning for an hour, specifically to look for the two reported Jack Snipe. Failed, though I did see a good count of at least six Common Snipe. There was also a flock of around fifty Siskins and the Cetti’s Warbler was heard.

Late afternoon I went to Therfield to look for the Great Grey Shrike and to see if I could find one of the roosting Long-eared Owls there. Managed both, as well as a Barn Owl.
