Raptor watch Part II


Another owl from the same site as Ian was, out at 17:20. Also saw Kestrels and Merlin, sadly no picture. Thanks for the tip about Little Owl Ian.

Nice photo Jim, I think this is a Short eared rather than a Long eared, nice to know we have them about that area also.

Yes short eared, there was a pair up in the air at the same time as well which was nice.

Not sure about anyone else but as I commented on an earlier post there doesn't seem to be all that many Shorties about this year to me.

Hi Jim, nice to have met you and glad the little owl tip paid off.

Nick, I haven't seen any short eared owls at all this year.
