Re: Unusual Behaviour?

When I came across the owls, there were three of them, two flew off on a hunting spree over the fields. The third stayed around with the Jay, making no effort to hunt or bother to follow the other two. I was watching for a good 15 minutes, and all they did was keep the minimum distance from me, hopping from post to post. I've got another 30-40 pictures of the pair of them, expecting the partnership to breakup at any moment.
Eventually I caused the break up, by trying to get too close, the owl left stage right whilst the Jay went stage left! We then spent another hour watching the other two owls hunting... A MAGIC day! A few more pictures.
