Description
Short Eared Owl captured at one of its Winter roosts.Short Eared Owls is a well marked Owl that can often be seen hunting in daylight.The Owl can normally be seen clapping its wings attracting a mate.
Normal habitat is upland moorland but during Winter months it is often seen near the coast where its prey of voles is in abundance.I managed to capture this one perched on a fence post with the background being a field that is used for cultivating lawn turf.
Iam a wildlife photographer from the United Kingdom where we often struggle for natural light.Thankyou for taking the time to visit my portfolio which as a wide range of bird images.I tend to specialise in Kingfishers and Owls.
By observing your target species over a period of time sooner than later you can get a clear background like this.What you will find Owls will have a particular perch were they feel safe.This perch was on the opposite side of a brook.
