365 Days Wild - Day 198 (100 Days Happy - Day 85)

My happiest and best wild moment today was meeting a tawny owl on my way to school!

As I was driving along one of the lanes, it flew across the road and landed in a tree just in front of me. I stopped, grabbed the camera and took a photo but the settings were all wrong from the previous use and it was a pretty rubbish photo.

I was watching the owl and the owl was looking down at me but I changed the settings, aimed the camera and had the owl nicely in shot, about to push the button - then he did what birds always do at that point and I ended up with a nice photo of an empty branch! Oh well! It was still great to see it and be so close :)

After that, I just enjoyed the weather. It was a pretty foggy day, especially up the hill from this scene.

Wonderfully atmospheric and a great memory for you with the owl.
