Local Nature Through My Lens

 

Short-eared Owl

Blimey! February already! Another cold and frosty start but the weather is due to break with more rain and possibly snow. I hope they have got it wrong again!

It is always good to see Owls with both Short-eared and Barn Owls giving good views. The Guillemots are back on the cliffs but larger numbers remain on the sea. Fulmars entertain in good numbers and Shags can be seen on the sea. Gannets are certainly increasing in numbers. A few are making landfall on the ledges, but many more are flying very close to the cliffs.

Wildlife images handheld with Canon 7Dmk2 and 400mm 5.6 lens. Moon and sunrise handheld with Sony RX10 mk4.
