 Short-eared Owl

Up To Cambridge and East Anglia

Pintail hybrid 

A guess at this bird's parentage could be White-fronted x one of the Snow Geese. The bird is very small and with a very small bill, so one is tempted to think of Ross's Goose, which would imply that the Blue-goose genes in Ross's Goose have got switched on.
