An in the landscape shot of a Snowy Owl looking out from behind some dune grass. It is quite a sight when you suddenly spot one of these magnificent creatures just sitting and watching...with those piercing lemon yellow eyes! Please view large for best experience.

 

Thank you for stopping by~!

It is always a treat to catch up with one of these magnificent owls :-)

I made a visit to the Gwash Trout Farm Osprey hide at Rutland this morning leaving home at 2 am for a 4 am start so a real early one. Its a great set up but unfortunately we only had one visit from Osprey 28 so photographically it was a bit disappointing given the lack of action/visits. We did however have a real treat with some squabbling male Kingfishers right in front of the hide throughout the morning which relieved the boredom a tad.

 

Delighted with this first for me.

the closest the barn owl came and hovered but looking nearly directly into the sun but I still quite like it

Unique medium-sized owl of the boreal forest. Remarkably long-tailed for an owl; reminiscent of a small hawk in flight with quick, snappy wingbeats. Pale eyes give it an angry look. Brownish overall with white spotting above, barred underparts, and spotted crown. Feeds on small rodents by sight and sound. Often seen perched on the very top of a spruce tree or snag, surveying the surrounding landscape for prey. When rodent populations crash, large numbers of Northern Hawk Owls can move south of their normal range. Merlin

nice to find another barn owl nesting in a natural hole last night

Lake District Wildlife park, Bassenthwaite

Flight pictures are easy to obtain locally , so it was a pleasant change to catch one roosting.

not so many about today but you only need one flying around in front of you

Taken at Somerset Wildlife Hides near Montacute, UK.

from the archives many years ago. I was tucked away and this beauty flew past. literally right in front of me In Spain .

A Great Grey Owl captured coming in low, wings thrown wide and talons dropped, locked onto whatever it had spotted below. That famous facial disc framed the yellow eyes perfectly, giving the bird an almost stern, focused look as it closed in.

 

The mountain treeline in the background added some nice depth, and the light hitting the underside of the wings brought out every bar and fleck in that grey and brown plumage. Getting the wings fully spread and the face sharp at the same time in a shot like this takes some luck alongside the timing.

 

Encounters with this species aren't common, so having one come in this close, this low, made for a moment worth waiting on.

Comment down below your guess about the ⚡ speed at which this 🐦 Osprey must have been flying…

Last one of four starring Meeney the kestrel.

There was a summer fish kill at Bear Swamp pool, Bombay Hook NWR. Presumably caused by the high summer heat and lack of oxygen. The dead fish resulted in a "Carp Buffet" for numerous bald eagles.
