Misty morning with my favourite Short Eared Owl at Orford

I made a early morning visit to Orford a few days ago, it was a misty morning but as soon as I got to the river wall path I was greeted by my favourite SEO. It few up and down past me then to my great pleasure perch on a post very close to me, giving me a chance to get some great photos
 ( including one of it ejecting a pellet ).











(pellet heading for the ground!!)
 



 
 
Later in the morning he or she caught prey
 




 
 

 
The darker SEO also was present that morning, but not close
