Our Short-eared Owls have been quite difficult this winter but in recent days seem to have become a bit more visible especially if the Hen or Marsh Harriers overfly the Silt Lagoons late in the day. They get up and get stroppy and will tend to give the larger birds some grief to send them on their way. Jonathan Wasse got these shots on earlier today and three birds were involved so I reckon that there is a good chance of catching up with one from the Serin Mound at the moment. they will fly surprisingly high so keep your eyes up!
