Short-eared owls

This year could be a bumper year for these stunning birds with some fifty birds being reported coming in over the east coast over one weekend. I've managed to catch up with a few over the last week or two.

Wintry colours on that last one are superb!

Very nice. The dive is particularly well caught!
