For the last few springs we’ve seen solitary screech owls in the reserve we visit. We’ll spot one in a tree hollow or on a nearby branch. As much as we checked this year none were about on our walks so I’m featuring an owl from 2016. The owls seem to favour the deep woods, and the leaves create quite a colour cast which I corrected in Lightroom using White Balance.

Great image – why is it that owls are so appealing?

It is rather difficult to spot as it blends in to its surroundings so well.

What a beautiful owl and how lucky to sometimes see them. Is it relatively small?
