Shorties at Altcar rifle range

I was lucky enough to be working in Hightown today and decided I need a 20 minute break from work.  I love Hightown beach and the Alt estuary as it is really quiet and you can get quite close the birds. There is a downside and the clue is in the post title. The rifle range was firing but it did allow me great views over the Alt river of 2 short eared owls.  The birds were quartering the sand dunes while shooting was going on.
