Inadvertently disturbed the Short Eared Owl today which had been concealed on the long grass of the flood bank but which then took off as we approached,  unaware it was there. It circled out over the estuary and came back to settle,  possibly in bushes somewhere up river of the westerly border of the Marsh. Four Glossy Ibis together at the reach of the tide in Fremington Pill.
