Short-eared Owls at Wallasea Island
A brief stop at Wallasea Island this afternoon gave me the opportunity to see no fewer than six Short-eared Owls hunting. One was mobbed by a Peregrine and another interacted with one of the two ringtail Hen Harriers present. A Marsh Harrier joined the games as it flew through whilst five shorties were in the air together and a Rough-legged Buzzard was also reported this afternoon but wasn't seen by me on this visit.

I saw to my first ever Short-eared Owl a few weeks ago now here in Dorset a wonderful bird watch. I like your pictures much better than my effort but like you say a wonderful experience, hope you do not mind this is my experience of my day

Sounds like you had a good day watching them Martin, I can never get too much of these cracking birds...weather permitting I'll be out again this weekend chasing improvement in my images.
