Short Eared Owl in flight

Short-eared Owls are often active during the day in the Winter. The bird is named after two small feather tufts on the top of its head, which look like ears. They usually roost and nest on the ground in a simple nest scrape. This image was taken mid-afternoon at Elmley NNR.
