After spending most of the morning around Atherington looking for yesterdays HOOPOE without success, I decided to go back to my car at Kemp Farm and grab my camera to get some shots of the Short-eared Owl roosting in the hedge in the horse field. Driving towards Climping Primary School I relocated the bird in the middle of the road then it flew into a roasdside tree.
