I'm guessing you wasn't aware that the Short-eared Owl Photography Club spend each winter camped out there Derick ;)

Birders tend not to go there much in the winter as it can get quite busy with photographers.

Chris

You would think they would have enough SEO shots by now ;-) Joking apart,this sadly will all be coming to an end this year if rumours are correct.

Busy Chris! That's an understatement. :lol:
This was my first visit to the site and yes! you heard right Andy.
As on my arrival 2 SAS attired photographers were returning from their latest covert mission out onto the Carr. [-X Apparently to get closer to the SEO.

Many onlookers thought it quite funny they were now getting only distant views, due to the antics of their fellow snappers. #-o
The 18 parked and or constantly moving vehicles and there occupants, mostly I assume members of that 'Short-eared Owl Photography Club' you mentioned Chris, all parading up and down the lane did nothing to encourage the owls to come closer either.

I went some way back up the lane and managed close views of SEO perched on a gate, a fox and barn Owl just sitting in my car. (Me not the barn Owl)
I didn't stay long for obvious reasons.

Two of the photographers I spoke to briefly had travelled up from the Midlands for the 3rd time this winter. So obviously you cant get enough SEO pictures then Stephen. :wink:

I Do hope that wasn't both my first and last visit to Worlaby Carr. :(
Can you elaborate on these rumours Stephen?
