SEO hunting the marshes

Shortie hunting at a Northumberland lake.

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!!!

Thank you for viewing

Back this afternoon to enjoy a few moments with the shorty's

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

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

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

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).

So... On closer inspection of my recent shots, I've noticed a small degree of distortion and chromatic aberration. This is because I hadn't uploaded the lens aberration correction data to the camera. I've done it now, so I'll have to go and retake several weeks worth of shots, hey ho.

This was taken this year, in May. I was in my car when it landed very close...
