First of the year in late evening sun.

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

Short-eared Owl flying in the distance.

Thank you for viewing

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

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

Short-eared Owl (Asio flammeus)

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).

Short-eared Owl (Asio flammeus)

nice to see these beauties back stayed distant but good light

It was Boxing Day in Canada, and lots of people were out and about with their fancy cameras at the Boundary Bay Dyke Trail.

We were all following one distant owl that was flying around in the southern marsh. Eventually, I decided it probably wasn't going to come any closer so I decided to head farther along the trail, away from the other people.

I had barely taken ten steps when I noticed this other short-eared owl sitting about 20 yards away. Oh wait, I meant "metres."
