Short-Eared Owl

Woohoo! My first ever owl in the wild! The photography was challenging but I'm thrilled to have captured him! There were, in fact, four of them. I'd spent 7 or so hours over the past three days, hoping for a glimpse, and was finally rewarded during the last hour of daylight. It was so exciting :)

I originally cropped this image tighter but the judge at Camera Club this evening went on so much about including the environment, I've gone a bit wider to do just that!

Another in extras - and many more (mostly blurred and all noisy) on my hard drive.

Thanks very much for everything for yesterday's 'Drinking From The Drain'!
