I have been visiting two sites 15 miles away trying to get shots of these owls over the winter months.Iv lost count of the times they have not appeared or they have and the light has gone or just not come near enough. All very frustrating and then I get an afternoon like yesterday and everything drops into place. No pain no gain

Worth every moment of effort. The Just beautiful captures. Can you share your equipment and settings?

Well, unlike my similar efforts to capture wildlife. You didn't blow it. I have experienced the same frustrations as you, but when my moment finally came about then I, blew it, with poor exposures. Great shots.
