My first unexpected early morning encounter with this cool looking Tawny Owl totally made my day.... A simple priceless magic moment. Hope you like him too.
OH MY - what a great find. Looks like he is snoozing too, the owls I have captured (very very few) are usually eyes wide open. What a wonderful shot. A grand addition to 'Face of the Week' this week. Thank you so much for sharing it! Also, thanks so much for participating! Hope to see you sharing your 'faces' with us all again soon! Have a great week!
Hey glad to see you back keith, yes I was stunned to see the owl as i'd never seen one in this small wood all the years i've been taking Harry out for his early morning yomp. The blackbirds gave him away though, they were making a right ole racket. At first I thought a cat or squirrel was lurking then I spotted him on a small branch looking sleepy, full and contented. The reason why he's looking down in the second pic is because Harry is beneath the tree.
