Well spotted! I'd be made up if I'd been lucky enough to see this.

He is lovely isn't he. Caught me by surprise. He just looked really sleepy. I actually had to carry on walking past him as I hadn't got the camera out the bag. But when I went back, he was very compliant, although he did fly off eventually.
My biggest wish has always been to see an owl in a tree.......now I have seen it! |

This has been my wish too. A few weeks ago I was taking photos of berries and spooked an owl in the same tree. I didn't know it was there and missed the opportunity for a photo. It was the closest I had ever been to an owl and if he had remained still I would not have noticed him at all. I was very
disappointed.
Well done to you for getting your wish granted. |

What a wonderful sight. Certainly got that just woken up look about him.
I have seen a few at distance recently where I live in Surrey but never as compliant as this. Lovely shots of a fantastic bird, certainly my favourite owl. |
