Close encounters

First of the year in late evening sun.

Poor lighting in a cold -14C cloudy evening.

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!!!

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.

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. :@)

Shor-eared Owl

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).
