Shorties are around and last count there were five. Being there at the right time when the light is good is pot luck, the answer is perseverance so any time there is light I try to go down to the marsh. This shot is almost directly into the sun shortly before dusk. I did get some images with the light on the owls but then the ISO was too high for my set up. Anyhow I regard this as a start and hope for better!
