Long-eared Owl breeds at Cors Dyfi

 

Superb photo and message from Emyr Evans at Cors Dyfi. Emyr comments: "And look what was by the Observatory this afternoon - LE owl fledgling!" See the blog entry for 11 April, referring to attacks by a Long-eared Owl on the incubating Osprey. Now we know why the adult was so aggressive. Watch the attack again:https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=874095486503045
