Cometh the (golden) hour - cometh the owl!
I have stood for many hours over the years in cold fens and marshes hopefully waiting for Short Eared Owls to show. More often that not they turn up, distant, once the best light has gone - or not at all. Very occassionally they do the right thing like earlier this week - although only flying for 40 minutes or so this was one of my very best experiences with these beauties. So apologies in advance for posting a lot of owl shots for the next few months. I will try and include other winter favourites too - hopefully Snow Buntings and Waxwings!
