31st May 2013 Rodmell & Southease

Marsh Harrier 1 female
Hen Harrier 1 male ex. flew high south to Southease
Short-eared Owl 1
Little Owl 1
Ringed Plover 5
Swift c.50

Short-eared Owl at Rodmell
A true record shot but as it shows the underwing pattern and white trailing edge it just about documents what constitutes a late date for the County




Male Hen Harrier at Rodmell
More record shots being far from sharp but no surprise being of a flying bird at 1/40th second but at least they reveal its extensive black wing-tips and dark trailing edge to its underwing
