Back to Carlton roost

On Sunday 22nd late afternoon, by the centre no sign of water vole but walking over to the look out point described yesterday, I did see a fine Short- eared Owl fly past the lookout hide and up to 3 Barn Owls hunting too. Around 12 Marsh Harrier and 2 Great White Egrets flew into roost, with Derek B and joined by the ever sharp Andrew E, he spotted the excellent ringtail Hen Harrier flying left past the Lookoput hide and towards Spratts water, later it flew back and wheeled down to roost near the Lookout hide. Later on at home a tweet from Andrew E, I was soon out of the back door and I heard the very distant calls of Pink- footed Geese heading west.
