Went out looking for Barn Owl early yesterday morning, didn't see any but on my way back to car nearly trod on this beauty in the long grass. Still cant get a decent shot of one they are always like this flying away from Me!

This was on a freezing cold afternoon in the Cambridgeshire Fens

Farlington Marshes nr.

Showing off its really long wings

Short-eared owl diving

The Shorties were hungry and hunting this afternoon in the freezing winds on the marshes. Though they did not come close i did have a few crops to pick from :-)

Short-eared owl - Asio flammeus. Here's today's owl from last Tuesday's visit to the British Wildlife Centre. What a thrill to be so close to something that I have spent hours stalking in the wild. I just love their "bovver-boy" expression. Thank you all for such interest and kind words.

Golden hour and the sun is resting on the horizon as this SEO poses for the photographers who wait patiently..

Thanks for the drop homie

Quite a substantial crop of two Short-eared Owls having a territorial dust up !!

Why don't these things happen closer :o(

Another treat all in one day goes to show never leave home without a camera.

While looking up for a Short Eared Owl in flight a helpful passer by pointed out the one sat right in front of me - doh!

Apologies again for being a bit erratic on Flickr at the moment.

Thanks for looking!

RIP

After watching a SEO sit on a fence post too far away to photograph for over 8 hours (I am not kidding) - I decided that I had to get at least one photo from the day.

So - here is a friendly Robin :)

Yay !!:@)
