Excellent day out with my boyfriend, we started at New Brighton in Wirral for the 1st winter Laughing Gull, wasn't expecting it to be showing so well, we had such good views of it on the Decking and in flight, such an attractive Gull and starting to get the black head. :) Also had great views of the Purple Sandpiper nine of them, and also the best views I have had of Dunlin there was so many all sleeping but did wake up for a few photos.
We then went just down the Road to the beach to see the Snow Buntings they were so beautiful was very cold with sea air, we didn't stay there long and they flew off when people were walking past on the beach but got a record shot.
Then we went to Burton Marsh RSPB for the Long Eared Owl, there was quite a few birdwatchers there and the owl was hiding in the tree camouflaged by branches, I couldn't pick it out with the naked eye nor with my binoculars but there was a kind gentleman letting people have a look through his telescope so I had a look and was amazed stunning owl fell in love with the ears straightway.
Dave also got it through his camera lens so got to look at it for longer, such a lovely slim build owl looked really big hard to believe it's smaller than Tawny owl.
Couldn't get a photo but i'm just chuffed I got to see such a beautiful owl. It had been a brilliant day four lifers for me, Laughing gull, Purple sandpiper, Snow bunting, Long eared owl. :)
