Had a great road trip to Conowingo. Great to see some old Flickr friends (sorry we missed you Kurt) and was great to make some new ones. It was nice to share thoughts with the many photographers using the new 7D Mk II. All in all a great weekend. Thanks, Steve for the road trip. Another great time.
A four week old tawny owlet. This was the eldest from a brood of 6, which is rare. The average brood size is 2-3 eggs for tawny owls in the UK. Part of a family of tawny owls that I am supporting through my owl conservation project on Exmoor.
Look at the size of that nest! Apparently it has been there for years as you can tell by the size of it. If you look carefully there is an osprey sitting in it. I'm not sure if that is a Momma with eggs. This is in the Flamingo Park area and is easily accessible.
Taken from Oxfordshire, UK with a Canon 1100D with 300mm zoom lens. Hand-held, manual focus. Image processed in Lightroom and Fast Stone Image Viewer. I never get tired of seeing these gorgeous birds
