Short-Eared Owl,Gloucestershire 21st Feb

Spent a few hours at the Short-eared Owl site today. As soon as I arrived at the site, one bird was seen flying around the field. It flew around the field for about an hour, quite distant most of the time but did occasionally come a bit closer. The bird then landed in the field and never came back up again for the next hour an a half I was there for.
1 Barn Owl was also seen along with 2 Stonechat and the odd Raven.
