Offshore worker snaps incredible images of Birds of Prey in North Sea

An offshore worker has captured incredible images of wildlife in the North Sea.

The Scottish SPCA revealed yesterday it had helped rescue an owl that had lost its way offshore.

But – as these images by amateur bird watcher and photographer Kevin Duffy show – the North Sea is a haven for beautiful birds.

In October alone Duffy has spotted owls, starlings, redwing blackcaps and even a merlin off the coast of northern Scotland.

His pictures also show the number of owls spotted offshore recently as they begin to migrate for the winter.

In June, a racing pigeon that lost its way was also rescued offshore.

Take a look at some of his best photographs below.
