Short-eared Owl from the obs


When I was 14, a Short-eared Owl at Beddington flew close by me- staring me out as it moved silently past at head height. I think it cast a spell on me because this has been my all time favourite bird to this day. To see one from my window over Beddington, now 24 years later was very satisfying.

A better shot here of presumably the same bird yesterday here:
