A veces las cosas no salen como uno espera, después de muchas horas de campo y de detectar los lugares preferidos de este Cárabo ( Strix aluco) no tengo manera de dar con él. Lo peor de todo es que tengo la sensación de que me ha estado viendo cada vez que he ido a buscarlo.

Sometimes things don't go as expected, after many hours in the field and detecting the favourite places of this Tawny Owl (Strix aluco) I have no way of finding it. The worst of all is that I have the feeling that it has been watching me every time I have gone to look for it.

The Ural Owl is a medium-sized nocturnal owl of the genus Strix, with up to 15 subspecies found in Europe and northern Asia. The Ural Owl is smaller than the Great Grey Owl, and much larger than the Tawny Owl, which it superficially resembles.
This bird is captive bred at the Small Breeds Farm Park and Owl Centre, Kington, Herefordshire. My thanks to Alice and Diana for their kind assistance.
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to view and comment on my photographs – it is greatly appreciated and encouraging!

Northern Barred Owl
The Barred Owl (Strix varia), or Northern Barred Owl, is a true owl native to eastern North America. Adults are large, and are brown to grey with barring on the chest. Barred owls have expanded their range to the west coast of the United States, where they are considered invasive. Mature forests are their preferred habitat, but they are also found in open woodland areas. Their diet consists mainly of small mammals, but they are also known to prey upon other small animals such as reptiles and amphibians.

Tawny Owl
There was also a parent bird present as well as three sisters of this one. Quite a dwarf I say!

I was deliberately keeping my distance from the Great Gray, but the bird amazed me by leaving the signpost from which it had been hunting in front of an adoring crowd, and then flying directly to a fence post right in front of me. I captured a few frames of the face, and then slowly backed up to get this vertical portrait.

I was looking for a Great grey owl, which was seen yesterday.
Didn't find it but got this.

A bit of a thrill to have the owl fly in right in front of me and land about 12 feet away… and then a man and his dog came along and the owl flew up to a higher perch… which lasted another few minutes until the next person came along and then it relocated again….
