Bird on a rock.
I'm still on the sick from work, but the odd good day means I can get out and about. For Rachels Birthday I took her out to watch some of the local Barn Owls - she's such a lucky lady

Abandoned (at least by humans) farmhouse at Low Horcum on the North York Moors. Now a haven for bats, owls and other wildlife.

It was a pleasure to photograph snowy owls again, and the weather was absolutely ideal. This was taken before dawn, when birds were still active in the snow
During a trip to Scotland in early May and after 2 days sitting in dire weather shooting Kingfishers, Peter (Spencer) had a great idea that we spend the night sitting in a damp cold...errr........'very cold' hide in the middle of nowhere in hope of shooting a Tawny Owl. Being the submissive type, I went along with Pete's plan and basically sat in a fridge through the night waiting in hope! However, to be fair, after just a short time we had our first visit (well we think it was the first as it was as black as the ace of spades!) and got this shot, using flash for the first time in anger! Both Peter and I used 2 flashes each set at 45 degrees apart, but had no idea how things would work out. So feeling chuffed with this one, but total respect to all those guys out there that do flash work so well.....and do it with the bird in flight! Pete and I are just starting/having a go, so-to-speak, but it's addictive to say the least! Anyway, we had one more visit from this owl, then that was it for the rest of the night.........we think! We definitely need a cheapo NVG so that we can actually see when something approaches (any tips welcome), so spent the rest of the night keeping watch but unfortunately we didn't capture any more visits.

(Strix chacoensis) The Chaco owl is an owl which inhabits dry Chaco woodland in southern Bolivia, western Paraguay and northern Argentina.
This owl was hunting and very active, behaving somewhat like a Great Gray Owl. She flew a considerable distance to catch a vole that was behind her, gulped it down, stayed on the ground looking around for for perhaps 5 minutes and then flew to this post. She has black markings over the eyes seen in only a few Snowy Owls.
She was migrating through the area where I saw her.
