Always a thrill to watch Short-eared Owls and I was privileged to watch this individual hunting over some local moorland yesterday evening and catching a number of large-looking voles.
I have been spotted but this little beauty was not bothered at all and just got on with hunting for food
I would like to post something other than owls, but I’m afraid that’s mostly all I have for you at the moment. Abberton reservoir.
A 'Short-eared Owl' with its lunch. ( had to resort to my archives for this one as I am not getting much action at the moment.)
Spent some time considering an image I should use to pay tribute to a contact of mine, somebody who set a standard for me , and a great advocate for t#he Short Eared Owl , David Newby quality photographer RIP

Made the most of the sun today... The shortie spent most of the afternoon in the distant tree, only making a few flights and none close enough for a 'good' shot... But always a joy to watch. :@)
Short-eared Owl (Asio flammeus). This photo illustrates a particular feature of the eyes of owls - differential dilation. When zooming into this image the pupil of the right eye (in sunlight) can be seen to be noticeably smaller than that of the left eye (in shadow).
So... On closer inspection of my recent shots, I've noticed a small degree of distortion and chromatic aberration. This is because I hadn't uploaded the lens aberration correction data to the camera. I've done it now, so I'll have to go and retake several weeks worth of shots, hey ho.
