I know. I wouldn't say I'm an owl person, but seeing this one, well it was quite special.

It IS adorable. What fun to see. I have yet to see an owl in person.. well in the wild that is.

Adorable! That’s one heck of a zoom! (I’m already contemplating a new camera! LOL Maybe I’ll get lucky and drop this one!)

WOW! great pictures!

ann @ studiohyde said...

..it was like meeting in person. I've been told it's a Tawny Owl, but whatever, it was nice to see :)

ann @ studiohyde said...

It was quite a surprise, seeing it in the 'daytime' in the tree.

ann @ studiohyde said...

Every time I go over to Arlington I'll be looking for it now, lol.

ann @ studiohyde said...

It is adorable Robin!...I probably don't use this camera to its full potential, but so long as I get shots like this I'm happy :)

ann @ studiohyde said...

Thanks annie! I guess there aren't too many owls where you are...well, at the moment that is, lol :)

Beautiful! Nice that you can zoom right in!
A neighbour told us there are owls on a nearby industrial estate. As we don't walk Annie there, I am determined to go soon and see for myself.

Hi Ann, I've just found some-ones youtube video but it's over a year old (I live in Kinmel Bay). Yes, this is on our industrial estate, I hope I am lucky enough to see the owls flying one day!

Hi Eileen, Thanks for the link. Wish I could have got a video of the Arlington one like that. It did fly off, but went the other side of the trees, so no chance with the camera.

Judy said...

Almost invisible, good to spot him/her, Ann! Yes, cute!
