The Blow In
It wasn't just the sound of waves crashing against the cliffs that was
carried on the wind this morning. Along with a multitued of Jackdaws,
Pigeons and Herring Gulls, (all of which seem to enjoy the strong winds
and use the air currents to perform all sorts of incredible maneuvers) a
single Short Eared Owl blew past the headland. For all of its size, it
looked to be struggling with the gusts. This is the first time I have
seen one of these superb birds for years, when I managed to get quite
close. They are day feeding Owls and they have been sited on a couple of
occasions at Durlston Country Park recently, so fingers crossed I'll see them again soon.
