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.

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).
