Well worth it Tim. It is a good spot for migrant birds in both Spring and Autumn.

Just got back from a rather frozen Sweden. Here are a couple of the better attempts of owls taken in the twilight.

Thanks Alex and Paula. I was pleased to get the photos at all but at such high ISO they were never going to be perfect, especially the Great Grey which was some distance away. However, just to see these beautiful birds was amazing. The feisty Pygmy Owl and the awesome Great Grey were very special.

Fabulous photos Tim :clap3:

Both owls are stunning and very well captured indeed.

I have seen both owls before but failed to grab any photos so it was a delight to see yours Tim.
