Long-eared Owl viewed from the Pier

On Tuesday 12th November, at 2pm I was finally able to take a lunchbreak and drive to Gorleston Pier walking out I saw Dereham Paul just leaving but there was also Paul & Jane F.,John R. and Rene B. all trying to photograph the bird in windy and rainy conditions. From the end of the Pier we looked north and saw the Long- eared Owl perched on defence rocks at the very edge of Yarmouth Harbour, the bird was distant but you could see most of the bird and its ear tufts though the scope that Jane kindly let me look through, by 2.10pm I had to leave, a really good lunchbreak twitch.
