Aerial Combat

A day out in the Cotswolds at the end of November 2024 on the look out for Short-eared Owls.

 

Every now and then two or three of the Short-eared Owls would come together and fly a short of Aerial Combat without actually hitting each other. They would then fly off to different parts of the fields to continue hunting.

 

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.
