surprise! by parisouailleurs

surprise!

Since last week, we see 2 big birds of prey in or around the garden but never been able to really see what they are. I was thinking of small eagles or something like that. I was in the garden with my camera when I saw a big bird flying away. Looking at my picture on the computer I had the surprise to see a owl on a branch, can you see it?. I guess the other one is a owl too...
Wow! They must be finding food in your garden. I wouldn't let Chamallow out there.

You're probably right - I bet it is another owl... might be a tawny owl? http://www.owlpages.com/owls.php?genus=Strix&species=aluco

How exciting to have captured the in-flight action you were aiming for and then to see you captured the on-looker as well! NICELY done!

That is one awesome surprise. I would have been so thrilled to discover that 2nd owl in my photo.
