Thank you for viewing

Shortie hunting at a Northumberland lake.

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

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

Thanks to all who have visited, commented or faved my photos. It is very much appreciated. Constructive criticism welcomed.

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

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.)

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

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

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).
