i,ve gone up to keswick 3 times now,and havent been lucky enough,like other posters to see these owls,next to the road.i,ve only seen them as specks,way out in the fields.shot at 700mm focal lenght,not including the 1.6x crop factor.hardly worth trying a photo.the snowy is an 80% crop.the harriers(male & female),are usually there,but are very quick,and tough to photograph.i apologize for the poor quality,and missing head shots,of the photos.

I went today and only saw Northern Shrikes (which I was pretty pleased about!).

i find by beeing my worst critique, pushes me harder to get better pictures.if it was easy,we probably,wouldn,t be doing it.
