Short Eared Owl, Round II- I said I'd be back...

First day out since my break. Wanted to visit my site in North Wales (well I say 'my' site..) but Arriva decided that sunday was the best day to pospone all trains in that direction. Great. I love public transport. Turns out this wasn't as bad as first thought, nor was the ensuing snow. I got up Saturday to find the stuff falling thick and fast around me. Trains were cancelled nationwide, I almost lost heart! However, a kind offer from a certain Mr Cookson (who's website can be found on the right of the page) saw me heading out Lancashire-bound, admittedly in pea-soup fog! Still, as I got out this cleared slightly. This continued until I had a clear sky. Things were looking up. As I arrived an owl was hunting, but soon perched. A stealthy approach revealed this rather interesting looking individual...



But soon he/she was off on the hunt, so was I...



...but with a bit of photoshop this looks relatively good...



A rather enjoyable session, bring on Round III!
