What a hoot.....
A day spent in the company of owls....
Been quite on the blog front of late, but here is one from yesterday.....
This day had been in the planning for a number of months, but due to Covid 19it has to be rescheduled a number of times.
So up at 5am, to leave the house by 6am set for a drive of around 2.5 hours....
Arriving on site just after 8.30am I was soon greeted by my host, just after 9am, down to business....
And what a cracker to start the day, a fantastic male Tawny Owl framed by the undergrowth, could things get better???
Next, what better than a Barn Owl, the silent hunter..
Framed in the hollow of a dead tree, with just a small amount of green undergrowth to aid the composition - perfect, after this, she moved to a old fence post wrapped in barbed wire....
Now my attention turned to a Long Eared Owl sitting framed in the "V" of an old tree, the surrounding vegetation created fantastic soft light, what more could I have asked for......
At this point, lunch was called for, it was now around 12.30pm, breakfast was a distant memory from 5am, now what to end the day with, the little fella, a male little owl, with his reflection....
What a day, the camera went away around 4pm, now the nice prospect of the 2.5 hour drive, only the though of what was on the memory card made it better.
For information, all images shot on a Canon 1DX MKII with a 600mm F4L MKII lens, except the Little which was taken with a 70/200mm F2.8.
Until next time.....
