Windsor Wool Mar 2024 10:17pm, 10 Mar 2024 6,231 posts	Quote Pin Windsor Wool Nice to spend yesterday afternoon and this morning at Elmley NNR in Kent. Skies were blue and the wind calm on Sat but a lot of the site is still inaccessible due to flooding. Then today it rained just to make it worse! They reckon they’ve had up to 30 roosting short-eared owls in recent months. We know they have at least 5 as that was the max we saw at one time. They’ve taken up roost so close to the car park that you can sit in your car and watch. They also have dozens of Marsh Harriers to the point where it went from never having seen one before to taking them for granted. Nice to see avocets, curlews, ringed plovers, hundreds of lapwing, thousands of wigeon, etc, etc. Nice spot. Will prob try and go back later in the year when the whole site is accessible again. Quite a few things we don’t see that they reckon they spot regularly: hen harrier, juv white-tailed eagle, long-eared owl, bittern (lovely pics up there ^👍🏻).
