Went to Denhall quay this morning hoping to get views of the Short eared owls that are being seen daily on the marsh.I didn't have to wait long before one showed distantly, it gradually came closer hunting over the marsh.
SHORT EARED OWL
As the bird hunted it spooked a male Hen harrier from the marsh but I managed one quick photo has it went down back down into the reeds.
MALE HEN HARRIER
Walking back towards the Harp inn pub I noticed that the Short eared owl was now perched up on a bush.
Another great mornings birding and so nice to have these magnificent birds on the Wirral.
