One from the archives I'm afraid.

Whilst sat in a vehicle observing the behaviour of a family of Little Owls, this youngster all of a sudden became very tired. He yawned & fell asleep whilst I was parked watching him.

Beautiful Owls & a real pleasure to be trusted within close proximity to where they lived.

Can't just drop off though....Nice shot Vince.

Hi Vince,

So when is the book due out? You really do have some of the finest owl photographs around. Would make a great captioned greeting's card!

I've decided - when I shuffle this mortal coil I want to come back as an owl and live at Vinnies place

Another corker Vin

He certainly looks tired. Must be hard work sitting around waiting to be fed.

I like the surrounding green foliage.

Very nice indeed.

Just love it.
