Short-eared Owls, still at Elliot

There were at least two Short-eared Owls at Elliot today hunting on the golf course and dunes and being left in peace without the throng of photographers chasing them around the area. I have found it's best to observe the birds and choose a spot and wait for them to provide a photo opportunity and I think that works well. On many occasions I've turned up chosen my spot and gone home shortly afterwards with good photos.
