Long-eared owl

[Phil-D]

Just going through some old shots to pass an hour ( surprise surprise its lashing it down here :banghead::banghead

And though I'd share one from a couple of years ago.

This is the male, the female was on the nest a couple of trees behind and to the right as we look at it.

D7200, Sigma 150-600c

Light wasn't great, exif is 1/100, f5.6, ISO 4000 @250mm

All C&C welcome, thanks for looking

Fantastic shot, I even like the slightly jaunty angle it gives a less surgical look.

Great shot I've yet to see one

Same here, so many birds so little time.

Thanks for the comments

Very fortunate here in the South Pennines, to have the perfect habitat for Long-eared owls with good numbers of breeding pairs.
