Little Owl
Little Owl / athene noctua. 15/08/19.
'1911 - AND A MONUMENTAL MOMENT.'
My patience paid off when this beauty chose one of the monument's date bosses to perch on. This provided more shelter and stability than a high tree branch the bird had favoured for several hours earlier.
We both made the most of the opportunity ... me snapping away, the owl doing some serious grooming! This image was made immediately after a vigorous feather shake-up! What a fabulous subject she was, deserving of the whispered endearments I made and the huge grin I wore.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
