Because of the number of people who visit the place, close approach is possible and it makes for a great mirror pool on still days.
I arrived there just as the sun was coming up but was staggered to discover that the Pools are no more. They have dried up.
I later found out that North Norfolk is suffering from a drought. It has not rained there since the beginning of March. Global warming ?
Plan B had to be put in place, so I made my way to a spot I know very well and started my hunt for the Barn Owls that I know frequent the area.
Having spotted that familiar ghostly, fluttering flight, I set about putting myself in a position that would allow the Barn Owl to come to me.
After an hour or so, my plan worked.
The Barn Owl made his way to the perch I thought he might have been using to scan the area and this allowed me to get the shots I wanted - the best images I have taken of Barn Owls so far.
Super birds and a joy to watch.......
