Short-eared Owls

I've been planning a trip to see a winter hotspot for Short-eared Owls and I finally got around to visiting. I've seen some great photographs coming out of this place but I didn't want to just turn up and hope for the best. I got tips of the locals and off renown wildlife photographer Mike Warburton in order approach the site as best (and safely) as I could. I still had a hard time to be honest but coming home with some photographs at-least. I think my next visit (depending on weather conditions) should be a lot better as today I really got to know the site well enough to know what to do and what not to do. All of these photographs are heavily cropped but light was decent so shouldn't show to much.
