SHORT EARED OWL - Patch tick & lifer

I was away on business when the reports of a Short Eared Owl at Axe Cliffs went out, but I popped up to have a look at the earliest opportunity (yesterday & today). I was pleased when it popped up over a hedge; it's a bird I've been wanting to see for a while, and getting a lifer as a patch bird is always nice! Views were pretty distant unfortunately, perhaps due to the golfer... Let's hope it hangs around to give me a better chance. Karen and Steve both seemed to have much better fortune with the bird but I'm still content with this pic; it is my first SEO after all!!
