Well, at the moment it's hard not to be mesmerised by our Short-eared Owls. Almost without fail up to three birds grace us with their presence each afternoon and hunt over the rough grassland and nearby farm fields. A dramatic flyby just outside the visitor centre caused even more delight this afternoon, so they really are showing well and not to be missed.
They were joined by a Hen Harrier very briefly this afternoon, with a different individual earlier in the week and a Goshawk was seen by Ken recently, although I think this was just a passing migrant. Then add in the almost constant Sparrowhawk action in the bird feeding area and Kestrels hunting the clifftop, all in all a bit of a bird of prey delight right now and if the weather takes a turn for the worst you can always combine watching the Owls with a bit of Christmas shopping and warming cup of coffee!
