Weekend weather didn’t look very promising. However on Sunday a beautiful sunrise and later for about 3 hours sunshine.

I just settled in the morning and was able to take one shot with beautiful colors of the sunrise in the background.

Later the day a troop of photographers from outside came to the place. Never seen such behavior during the last weeks. Unfortunately other photographers started to follow their misbehavior and positioned themselves inside the area to try shooting macros of the owls. Not only they might have scared the birds but also hindering other photographers by standing all the time in the way. But not only the guys themselves but also lot of equipment stood all the time everywhere around. The troop aliens ran after each relocation of the owls trying to get close, for whatever reason.

Around lunchtime the sun came through and I was able to get some nice shots of the flying owls.
