 Cotswold scenes

On Sunday I made the late decision to make the last hour of sunlight count with a drive into the Cotswolds. Pit photographer, Mark Clarke, was duly positioned as I landed and we didn't have to wait long for some fantastic views of at least three Short-eared Owls. Late in the session two Barn Owls came out hunting whilst there was a supurb scrap between a Shortie & Sparrowhawk over a mole with the Sparrowhawk taking the honours. Other sightings included a Stonechat and huge numbers of corvids.

Please sure you drop Mark a follow on Twitter & Instagram, he really does take some amazing images.
