Short-eared Owls have been showing well on the high ground for several days now and I have been taking advantage both in the early mornings and evenings.
The more that you can work with any given bird the more you get to understand its habits, hunting behaviour and its tolerance if any to your presence.
With these Owls having fantastic sight and hearing you can't hide from them for very long before they visually pick up on your presence or hear your camera firing so testing and finding any particular birds acceptance distance over a few days is the way forward.
All of the portraits posted here have been taken around an hour before sunset when the light levels and direct sunlight enhances these very photogenic birds bringing out the amazing yellow eye and plumage details that can really make these shots pop out.
