Pennington Marshes, March 4th 2010.

Home from work early and sunny days have been in short supply recently, so grabbed my camera and headed somewhere local, to Pennington Marshes.

Next to the sea wall, a couple of Redshanks were very close, on the other side of the path Wigeons were also very close and a bit wary of my long lens!

Then out of chance as I rounded a corner, I came across a hunting Barn Owl, so focused it didn't notice me at first, the shot is taken just as the Owl saw me and promptly did a double take and headed off in the opposite direction!
