19 January 2015: Short Eared Owls at Hawling.

Once again, a spare hour and some late evening sunshine meant only one place to visit - Hawling. First out tonight were the Stonechat, with the male posing beautifully

Out came the Short Eared Owls.

This one was down in the grass looking for voles

A bit of Owl feistiness

but joining forces against larger intruders

I saw this adult Peregrine flying overhead with wings folded, actually stooping at one of the Owls, but he pulled out and flew on.
