A stunning photograph of a swooping short-eared owl has been captured by a visitor to Blenheim Palace.
The shot was taken by Tom Goffe of Nicholsons Garden Design, Landscaping and Forestry who was visiting one of the palace’s woodlands.
A spokesperson for the palace said: “Short-eared owls are often seen hunting during the day, are of European conservation concern, and are classed as an ‘Amber List’ species.”
Nicholsons worked in partnership with the Forestry Commission to plant 270,000 trees that make up nine newly planted public woodlands.
