Tried to see whether the Short Eared Owl was still present (see blog 2 weeks ago).  While scanning from the bottom of the garden just after lunch I found a large dog fox hunting the fields behind the house (a common sight around here).  After a while it started to head off, hunting along a hedge row.  As I watched it flushed a Short Eared Owl from the hedge!  Great stuff!
