Short Eared owl
Well a coastal Drive with a massive surprise and lovely bit of pizza. On the way home from the suffolk costal roads and as the lights shined on the verge of a field there it sat, a Short eared owl, most probably just arrived from a long migration, i graded the camera with the car headlights laminating the owl , and done my best to grab a few record shoots, but realisation then set in.The owl is shattered and wasn't going anywhere, so with everything done as quickly and quietly as i could tripod, self timer attached i started to slowly edge closer and closer to the Owl...within 15 feet by the last shot, a high ISO used so i had some manageable shutter speed..but never the less I'm please with the outcome..So glad them roads see very little traffic late at night that bird just may of been in the middle of the road at some point from a difficult migration flight...
