Popped down to the serin mound late afternoon, my first visit this winter to look at the Short-eared Owls! There were at least five near the serin mound. My closest views however came late on as the sun was disappearing, so I was shooting with a high iso to try and keep them sharp! Sadly what I gained in sharpness I lost in graininess! Cracking 90 minutes though with these wonderfully enigmatic birds!
