A Short-eared Owl, first seen at Lavernock yesterday afternoon, hunted briefly over the field shown in the map below, roughly along the area of the line shown, between about 4:30 and 5 p.m. this evening. It dropped into ground cover as the rain was arriving,. Pretty poor light so surprised that I got a few half decent shots out of the 70 or so I took – albeit after some post processing. The bottom left pic is arguably the best as the bird seems to be eyeballing me [and Wayne Strong who was with me].
