Long-eared Owl

I went to have a look for yesterday's Glaucous Gull along Church Norton spit and bumped into AH doing the same thing; no luck with the Gull but we flushed a Long-eared Owl from Church Norton spit! Initially, we both thought Short-eared Owl but we quickly realised from the bird's colour and rounded wings that it was its scarcer cousin.
