Foxton and Shepreth L-moor

Went for a decent walk with Michelle in the morning and walked towards the spot where I'd seen the Short-eared Owl a few days before. No sign, but Owls aren't at their best in the morning. Did see a decent flock of Linnets and Siskins.

Tried later afternoon (this time took the car all the way down to the Newton Road) and found it fairly quickly. So then headed to Shepreth for a walk around there.
