Tresinwen (26 Dec 11) (The Long & Short of it)

In between prolonged periods of horizontal rain this afternoon I tried to do some sea watching from the bottom of the garden.  Lots of birds - masses of Auks and Kittiwakes feeding along the tide race zone with small numbers of Gannet as well.  A Puffin seen along with one Manx and 4 Balearic in with the feeding Auks.

Late afternoon / early evening (when the horizontal rain finally stopped) the Short Eared Owl started to show off and on and then a Long Eared Owl showed briefly hunting in an area with lots of willow scrub!  (My first for Strumble).
