Short Eared Owl

Having been at WWT Slimbridge all morning on the return home I stopped off in the Cotswolds hoping to see a Short Eared Owl

 

As the afternoon progressed a second Short Eared Owl showed up, quartering the fields.

 

Short Eared Owls are medium sized Owls with mottled brown bodies, pale under-wings and yellow eyes. They are often seen hunting during the day. In winter, there's an influx of continental birds from Scandinavia, Russia, Iceland to the UK.
