   As there was a fairly high tide last night and this morning, i thought i would give Aust Warth a try, see if there were any Short-eared Owls around. The tide was not quite high enough really, but as it got to its peak a Shorty flew out of the grass and was chased by Crows, it flew towards the 1st Severn crossing and then out across the river. A couple of minutes later i picked it up again as it came back to the warth. It landed in the long grass and that was the end of that, as the tide was had turned and was going back out! Also there, was a Kingfisher which showed well for a minute or so, before disappearing down the Pill!
