Thanks to those of you who posted a comment or viewed my last image, have a great Xmas guys & New Year.

This is one of the three owlets I've been working with this year, this one has learnt the skill of 'worming'. By the expression it looks like this tasty morsel was well received. Not sure if he/she was winking back, but I'll let you make your own decision on that one.

cheers
Steve
