We've been trying to get some Owl images
for over a year now and only met with limited success. Last year we were
fortunate enough to see a Barn Owl out hunting, but his habit of coming out
just as the light was fading didn't help matters. On one occasion there was a
fleeting glimpse of a Short Eared Owl, but even that image wasn't great. As
for African Eagle Owls, they were conspicuous by their absence on our last
trip.
So we
recently made a trip to Buckinghamshire where we knew there were Little Owls on
offer from a hide. In the days leading up to our trip they had been very
visible and on a lovely day, we weren't disappointed. It was a pleasure to be
able to spend five solid hours photographing these beautiful birds.
This is a bit of a plain image and a quick look on Flickr will reveal a lot of pictures of the same bird on the same fence post. I'll try harder to locate a more interesting image when time allows.
Fantastic pic.
