Birding Group Visit to Burton Mere Wetlands : 17th March 2015
In a change of schedule we swopped our planned venue for Burton Mere Wetlands. This gave those members of the group that had not already seen the Long-eared Owl to try for it. Although the bird had moved from its previous location we eventually found it on our way back from Inner Marsh Farm hide with the help of a friendly volunteer who was actually stationed there to prevent photographers from harassing the bird. It was in a much better position so we got better views than we had previously managed.
