Returned again today to the meadows to see if I could catch a glimpse of the barn owl. It seems that she has claimed the land (which has laid fallow for a year) as her own. It demonstrates that if land is not interfered with and left untouched, magical things happen as a result. I dare say the land will eventually be sold then mowed, hacked back etc and this beautiful creature will move on. For now my mornings have got a whole lot more exciting.
I love photographing wildlife in its raw form, wildlife I chance upon and am lucky enough to capture.
Ethical photography probably best describes my passion.
Thank you for stopping by and for all your Favs on “Chance Encounter” yesterday.
How lovely to see him still in residence , and looking very contented on his perch! A lovely shot - so prominent with his white breast . I hope the land will lie fallow for another year or two for him ! ( greatly unlikely I suppose !! )
Even nicer than yesterday’s! The light here shows her at her loveliest. I think she looks completely confident in your presence. So many barn conversions & in consequence barn owls loose their homes.
