Long Eared Owl ...... again

A trip to the other side of the county for a second helping of this fella. This time getting much better views even though the Owl was actually further away than before. Again very very Happy to see such a wonderful species.

from the image above you can see how much of a crop this is



Long Eared Owl

Certainly my best ever view of the brilliant species. Even though it was tucked way back in a large hawthorn bush it was visible with the naked eye once you got your eye in.  Was able to watch it sit comfortably preening and it didn't take any notice of the trains that were passing close by behind it. Anyway I rattled off 20 or so shots and this is about the best I was ever going to get.
