I've seen her scratching a few times a day, but only for short periods, nothing prolonged, I've tried to take a photo but it's not very clear from that.
 
It could be fungal though it is difficult to tell from a photo. Vet visit is needed for a diagnosis. It could be the light though but she does seem to have a slight bloom to her ears which can be a sign of fungal.
