I adore owls and it is always fun to see the Snowy Owls return to our area in the winter. What I don't often see is the Snowy Owl perched on a treetop.... usually they like the hydro poles.

Happy Wing Wednesday

Der Treetop Walkway ragt 18 Meter über dem Boden empor und ist eine Gelegenheit, Kews Bäumen näher zu kommen.

Towering 18 metres/ 60ft above the ground, the Treetop Walkway is a chance to get closer to Kew’s trees.

A foggy, cold morning in Savernake Forest. The cold predawn blue tones contrasted beautifully with the colourful tree tops.

Treetop

This is a Great Blue Heron nesting spot in Siskiyou County, California. Compared to last year when I first saw them, they showed up right on schedule,

Matschie's tree-kangaroo (Dendrolagus matschiei), native to Eastern Papua New Guinea. Walkabout Australia, San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Conservation status: Endangered"

I've been to this Tor on many occasions and never got a shot I've been happy with. Its not the easiest place to get a balanced composition. On this occasion the beautiful sky helped me out.

When I first saw this morning's sunrise I didn't think it was going to turn out so spectacular. But then I got a tip--off from my wife, grabbed my camera and dashed out on to the balcony. . .

I went to Win Green Hill up on the Dorset/Wiltshire border yesterday but it was more foggy then misty. As I quite often say in my posts, I much prefer low lying mist although fog is great for woodland photography.

There was quite a fiery sky but I still prefer the tones of this one as the fog was a bit murky.

Wishing everyone a lovely windy weekend!

The White Mountains, New Hampshire - U.S.A.

The tree canopy overhead as we descended through the woods from Pressendye back to Tarland provided a lovely bit of cool shade from the hot summer sun which had cooked us all day.

Pressendye is just a small Graham of 620 meters (2034 feet), but a 15 Km (9 mile) circuit definitely stretched the legs.

So hard to catch these little red squirrels mid scamper!!

Nesting-Anhnigas

Sometimes nests in isolated pairs, usually in groups, in mixed colonies with herons, ibises, cormorants. Male chooses site in colony and displays there to attract mate. Displays include waving wings, raising tail up over back, pointing bill skyward and then bowing deeply. Nest: built mostly by female, with material supplied by male. A platform of sticks, often lined with green leaves. Sometimes takes over an occupied nest of heron or egret.
