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.

Thank you for viewing

Sun finally came out so off to visit the owls for a couple of hours this afternoon

Back this afternoon to enjoy a few moments with the shorty's

Wonderful memories for me to hold onto after spending time with the beautiful short eared owls today

Thanks to all who have visited, commented or faved my photos. It is very much appreciated. Constructive criticism welcomed.

I didn’t make the most of the opportunity to photograph this owl in flight. I was so intent on getting the perched shots I picked a poor position for when it took to the air. Still managed a few shots and this was probably the best of them.

I have been spotted but this little beauty was not bothered at all and just got on with hunting for food

A couple of Shortie shots, a good end to a dark and dank day on the levels.

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. :@)

Shor-eared Owl

A surprise for us both. Chance encounter with SEO while looking for Skylarks

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).

It was Boxing Day in Canada, and lots of people were out and about with their fancy cameras at the Boundary Bay Dyke Trail.

We were all following one distant owl that was flying around in the southern marsh. Eventually, I decided it probably wasn't going to come any closer so I decided to head farther along the trail, away from the other people.

I had barely taken ten steps when I noticed this other short-eared owl sitting about 20 yards away. Oh wait, I meant "metres."
