A single short-eared owl was showing well at Steart yesterday, close to the parking at Steart Gate. A kestrel then dashed in, in an attempt to steal a vole the owl must have caught, resulting in a brief, but terrific dog fight. A special request, however, for folk not to push the owl, as one photographer kept getting way too close when it was resting on the ground. The rest behaved responsibly though!
