The photography was as usual difficult,,, even when the light was good. You might say all i really got were 'record shots', but it was still a special experience. One of those bird encounters you sometimes get where the photography came second.

Shorted Out
A bright winters afternoon on the Dorset Downs yesterday. A cutting wind, and a few masochists standing along a roadside verge,,, just waiting. Then,,,, an hour before sundown, we were all rewarded with a spectacular Short-eared Owl performance. Four,,, maybe five of these beauties put on a hunting show that lasted into the gloaming and beyond. The best i've yet witnessed.

Some nice shots here Frank and I am envious, although to be fair two hours on Saturday afternoon wasn't enough to give it our best shot. You do make a fine point though in so far as sometimes, just watching is more rewarding than firing the shutter.
