Battle Royal (Asio flammeus)

We've at least three SEOs around at present. Despite there being a large expanse of salt marsh for them to hunt over they all seem to favour this one small area. They regularly have squabbles both verbal and physical. More than once I've heard what sounds like claws coming together. Mostly though they just have dog fights lasting 10-20 seconds at most.

A great sight to watch and photograph. Tell them from me that there's loads of room for SEOs down in Somerset. ;)
