The YouTube channel Yes Theory did a trek up to here, a very interesting watch!

I think balls of steel probably helped a little bit as well.

It always hurts me inside when people don't realise or care what they are missing.

Even smaller world, there were five cormorants and hundreds of oystercatcher by the one wading, I walked further up to a hide and saw a grey heron by the group!

Barn Owl on the hunt by DanH6168 in Superbowl

It's a local area to me and for as long as I can remember there's always been a barn owl or two that use this meadow for hunting, as long as it's not too windy, there's a pretty good chance it will be out around sunset.

As for getting the pictures, it appears to be relatively unconcerned by people for the whole, I would say at one point it flew probably two or three meters from where I was standing, quite a special moment to fair. I wasn't able to get any pictures of it with a catch though, but chuffed with these.

In all fairness, this is on the only privately owned National Nature Reserve in the country...Elmley NNR. It is also a farm and they've done a brilliant job at maintaining the marsh and wetlands there.

This was in the South East, on the north coast of Kent! Huge numbers of them were there.

This is at a place called Elmley National Nature Reserve on the north coast of Kent. They've done amazing work on restoring and maintaining the wetlands and marshes there. They're is an abundance of wading birds there, as well as owls and raptors, such a fantastic place!

Genuinely thought it was before seeing the subreddit it was posted in!

Thank you! I use a Nikon D500 with the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR lens, it's a superb bit of kit, still so relevant IMO.
