Short Eared Owl.
Nikon D7000.
Nikon 300ml 2.8
1/250@f7.1 iso500.

Not a lot happening around me at this time a couple of Short Eared Owls have arrived at our local site but that's about it,this is one from a series of shots from early this year.

Thanks for looking and your comments on my last post.

Gorgeous bird, gorgeous light and a very nice pose. Maybe just a touch off of the RHS for me, but no big deal.

I was down there last Tuesday, 4 shorties and not much else. I also heard that the Set Aside designation is about to run out at the end of the year, and the land is to be put back to the plough, it would be such a shame if this were to happen :frown:
