Saw my first Short-eared Owl on Wednesday down at Ynyslas NNR, north of Aberystwyth - flew right over my head!

Finally caught up with one of the many SEOs in North Kent. There was one flying around Oare Marshes this morning, but it didn't come close enough for a photo. I'll have to try on Sheppey at some point. |

great picture snake
I've seen some down here in North Devon over the past month or so... and I've never seen them before this.
4 is the most I have seen in one evening working the same patch and they are kinda like clockwork each evening now, same time, same place, same hunting technique... even resting on the same posts... as long as the weather is calm and not too overcast it seems.

Fabulous shot but why isn't it in the main Gallery to be admired by everyone? Its way too good to be stuck in 'unidentified' ...... |

Cheers,
Adam | Yes, plenty along the east coast, although we generally get very good numbers of migrants but small numbers of wintering birds as there is no sufficient habitat to hold large numbers here. The second half of October produced the most birds. Numbers are up on last year. | | | |
