Love these

I've spent shed loads traveling to get pictures of these Owls. I think I managed 2 out of a few hundred.

The Owls go back home in a month or so, would love to get a few more before they go.

At the moment it is fight the weather to get the best shots of them - this day it was a mixed bag so had a lot of shots but a huge number were unusable.

Usually a pain when the model blinks, but this is pretty cool:

These are stunning, would you mind sharing your setup? What time of day were you at Bempton? It's not far from me so might go this sunday!

Thankyou. These were with Olympus OM1 and the Olympus 150-400.

These shots were not at Bempton, but local to me. At Bempton there's been upwards of 5 showing I saw them just before Christmas at Bempton - seems there's been a big influx of SEO this year.

The ones at Brmpton are showing near the visitor centre, also the field to the right when you get there, also if you walk down from the visitor centre to the cliff edge , turn left then left again up side of the hedge, about 2-300 yards up the hedge is a gap that overlooks another field and you get them working that field.

Good luck if you do go and I look forward to seeing the pictures .
