Short-eared Owl - Asio flammeus
Canon 800mm f5.6 for 1/1250th @ iso1250
It is not uncommon to see the Short-eared owl hunting during the day. During the winter months birds from as far away as Russia, Iceland and the Nordic countries will over winter in the UK.
There are a number of locations in the North West of England that these owls can be seen and many without the aid of a large lens or some of the kit the birdwatching fraternity use.
