The Cornish Warrior v The Short Eared Owls




The Image above is of a determined Cornish Warrior Peter Tonkin battling along a track full of knee high thick mud and water with high winds and driving rain trying to beat him back but nothing stops him in his quest to capture an image of a pair of Short Eared Owls in aerial combat.   So does he claim his prize this time?  You bet he does !   Check out his image below of these feisty Birds in action.



Below are a few of my own images of these magical winter migrants to our heathland high ground taken on the same shoot yesterday.  We stayed with these birds until fading light levels and cloud cover created to many exposure problems with our attempts at recording them to continue.
