You sure saw some great action from this owl, didn't you Gleb.

Thank you!! The SEO is present on the field right in front of the bridge over Burwell Lode. A visit is HIGHLY recommended if you want 100% success photographing the owl. They are much easier to view than the hen harriers. I would give a 65% chance of success for hen harrier pictures. 100% for the SEOs. I recommend all interested to take advantage before they leave!
