His perch is in a disused quarry on Portland Bill. Sorry about the poor quality, its heavily cropped, when I got closer he flew of.

My son has seen him/her a few times and so I just pitched up on the off chance and was, as you say, lucky. I was hoping to see the short eared owls I say last autumn but no luck there. I think they are around though.
