Short-eared Owls

Tuesday, July 26th 2022

Although not recorded on the reserve yet, Short-eared Owls are often observed on the neighbouring moorland. Wildlife photographer, Tiny Power, has captured these incredible images whilst out and about over recent weeks.

More information about these elusive raptors can be found on the BTO website where there is also a useful video to help distinguish them from Long-eared Owls. Thank you Tiny for sharing your pictures!
