Eysey etc

26 Mar - the workings at Eysey are looking quite promising for passage at the moment, the last day or 2 I've seen 4 LRPs, 3 Oystercatchers, a Redshank and a Dunlin, as well as displaying Lapwings. Plus the bonus of a fly-through male Merlin presumably moving north on migration. Also from the W/E, very good views indeed of Short-eared Owls in the Cotswolds, both perched and hunting, in good sunlight - with loads of visitors present, probably 25 cars plus - and the Great Grey Shrike still present as a bonus. Short-eared Owls mobbing Red Kite was a memorable sight........
