Short Eared Owls

A trip down to West Cornwall to see the Short Eared Owls hunting over the moors. Had to wait for a while for them to show but the time was well spent when a number of Adders were found basking in the hedge, what beautiful creatures, also a Kestrel was on the prowl and came very close. The Owls eventually put in an appearance and we we were treated to great views of them hunting for voles etc. An unexpected bonus was when an Owl was mobbed by a Hen Harrier, I would have been happy seeing just one of these birds but the two together was very exciting.Great stuff.
