A reminder of what I hope is to come tomorrow, wish me luck. Short-eared owl hunting.

Close encounters

I worked hard to get this photo because of low light and telephoto not focusing properly. It's going back to the company today for repair. Oh no....out of commission for 2 weeks!!!

Poor lighting in a cold -14C cloudy evening.

Another shot from last weeks visit to enjoy these beautiful owls

Always a thrill to watch Short-eared Owls and I was privileged to watch this individual hunting over some local moorland yesterday evening and catching a number of large-looking voles.

Wonderful memories for me to hold onto after spending time with the beautiful short eared owls today

Thank you for viewing

Back this afternoon to enjoy a few moments with the shorty's

Sun finally came out so off to visit the owls for a couple of hours this afternoon

Forty winks.😉 Beaver County Alberta.

I would like to post something other than owls, but I’m afraid that’s mostly all I have for you at the moment. Abberton reservoir.

A 'Short-eared Owl' with its lunch. ( had to resort to my archives for this one as I am not getting much action at the moment.)

No sign of any Short Eared Owls this afternoon unfortunately. So one from last year when they were still under the radar.

Was lucky enough to have this wonderful bird land on the post in front of me - only for it to be chased off by another Shortie - the lighter one in my previous posted shot - which then circled round and alighted on the next post. A magical thing to watch!

Taken with the RF 800mm lens - which prefers good light - so I had to use a really slow shutter speed and under expose to keep the ISO down to a reasonable level.

Shor-eared Owl

Made the most of the sun today... The shortie spent most of the afternoon in the distant tree, only making a few flights and none close enough for a 'good' shot... But always a joy to watch. :@)

Short-eared Owl (Asio flammeus). This photo illustrates a particular feature of the eyes of owls - differential dilation. When zooming into this image the pupil of the right eye (in sunlight) can be seen to be noticeably smaller than that of the left eye (in shadow).

So... On closer inspection of my recent shots, I've noticed a small degree of distortion and chromatic aberration. This is because I hadn't uploaded the lens aberration correction data to the camera. I've done it now, so I'll have to go and retake several weeks worth of shots, hey ho.

This was taken this year, in May. I was in my car when it landed very close...

Thank you all who fave and comment on my photo'/video's,much appreciated.And thank you all for looking.

With the sun out the following day i had to return though as i arrived it clouded over but as Robin was leaving i had them to myself for an hour. They did come fairly close which was nice :-)
