Little Owl
Little Owl / athene noctua. 15/08/19.
After enduring hours on a branch getting buffeted by the strong wind, the Little Owl finally opted for a stable perch. In this sheltered position it preened in a leisurely manner, occasionally glancing down to check I was still looking!
It is a pity it's eyes are shaded in this image but I'm pleased with the the wispy feather detail captured.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
