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!!!

I spent the day looking for SEOs, but found none. So here's a shot of one sitting on a post from earlier in the year.

Come on you Owls...

Another shot from last weeks visit to enjoy these beautiful owls

I have been spotted but this little beauty was not bothered at all and just got on with hunting for food

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.)

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.

Spent some time considering an image I should use to pay tribute to a contact of mine, somebody who set a standard for me , and a great advocate for t#he Short Eared Owl , David Newby quality photographer RIP

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.

A couple of Shortie shots, a good end to a dark and dank day on the levels.

Flies across this field as the sun is setting. Colchester Uk.

A surprise for us both. Chance encounter with SEO while looking for Skylarks

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).
