British birds of prey centre,Carmarthenshire,Wales.
While visiting a lake on the edge of a forest where there were some interesting raptors and large Owls sighted - we came across this dead tree - standing solo in the dried up lake bed. The tree was fascinating, but there are not many birds on it surprisingly. When we took a closer look - sighted these Owlets living in it - no surprise.
They were wide eyed about our presence and had a mixture of curiosity, suspicion and alarm about what we could do. We sat on the banks some distance away and enjoyed watching them. Luckily the weather was awesome and it was a memorable day.
These are resident owls in the country and a lot more common than I thought and what most people think. Behind my house in the university there are almost 6-7 of them and sometimes in the night we can hear their calls and fights.
Thank you so much in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
