It is a joy to watch the Short-eared Owls hunting on the high ground of West Cornwall and this year their hunt timing has stretched from dawn to dusk.
It has also been good to watch the Owls relaxing in their stand down times which like in this particular study can last for an hour or more when preening and wing stretching and talon cleaning become the order of the day
Still ever watchful for voles on the ground and bird attacks from above the birds eventually launch themselves gracefully back into the sky to resume hunting again.
