Short-eared Owl

Hunting Short-eared Owl over the saltmarshes at Parkgate on the Wirral. These diurnally hunting raptors are a regular visitor to the marshes around Parkgate and Gayton Sands on the south-west Wirral coast each winter, in varying numbers. They are stunning birds to watch, and I’ve been fortunate enough to watch them on many occasions both here and at other regular haunts in the UK.
