Short-eared owls, they keep on giving...........
A very busy Elliot today with visitors and photographers from further afield chasing the five Short-eared Owls around the golf course and dunes. My plan and it worked was to sit still in my car and let the owls come to me, and they did. At one point one was about to land on my roof-rack when at the last moment it must have seen me and changed it's mind, banking just in front of the windscreen. I did see some interaction between two birds and for the first time one of the so-called "young ones" which surely must be a runt as it's noticeably smaller than the others?
Views, with the intention of inspiring Lorna and Lauren
I'm trying out this new layout and posting some views for two acclaimed artists I know in the hope they'll go out and better my efforts. Taken with various cameras when I was but a lad!
Probably taken with a fast shutter to emphasise the colours
