The Spotted Eagle Owl,

has moved in at our neighbours. There is a pair of them who have been there for the last six weeks. They seem to be nesting there.Our friend who is on the committee of a local Bird Club, is of course very happy about this.

It's such a treat to have these beautiful birds in the garden.

[Babs]

How good to be able to see them in the wild.

[Pam Knowler]

How wonderful to see him like this! I have always wanted to see an owl in the wild! Fav!

I think this pair have chosen their nesting place with great care, maybe sixth sense!

Looks like you disturbed him as he is peering at you with one eye! 😄

You are so fortunate to see these wonderful owls. I have heard a couple in our area, but have never seen them.
