Pont Einon nearly in the dark

 I couldn't resist another look from Pont Einon this afternoon (4th) in the hope of seeing the Short-eared Owl that Luke saw yesterday. I got there just before 3pm and shortly after was joined by Andre Morgan. Just when we thought nothing was going to show Andre picked up the male Hen Harrier which we followed for a while before it disappeared. Andre then left and I had a few more views of the Harrier and then Arfon and then Will Davies joined us for a while. After Will left it was just getting dark about 5pm when the Short-eared Owl appeared giving the two of us great if not slightly dark views. Shortly after a flyover of 2 Great Egrets rounded off the afternoon nicely.
