Teresa knows me only too well when I suggest I take her for a few hours shopping to Cribbs Causeway in Bristol rather than Culverhouse Cross,"Short eared Owls is it " she replies and one duly obliged flying at just after 2.00pm in glorious light with another joining it just as the light faded at about 4.oopm.
I was a little nervous shooting into the sunlight as the first bird passed and headed towards the new Severn crossing but overexposed a couple of notches and was pleased to get a couple of nice "backlit" shots.
Think I'll try Rumney Great Wharf weather permitting next weekend where there were maybe six present today,bit of a hike though compared to "armchair" birding at Aust Warth.

I would say your cunning plan was successful, Baldrick! I went there last year for the same reason, but naturally enough my visit coincided with the only day when no owls showed!
Great shots!
Cheers Jeremy,first visit this autumn/winter which will be the first of several if they continue to show in good light as y'day afternoon.
Made several visits last year but although there a couple of SEOs there they rarely showed before the light had really gone.
May bump into you there on a nice day,good luck if you go,Severside Birds is a good blogsite to keep an eye on for sightings.
Cracking shots Jeff.
