This is my first post of 2016 and not surprisingly it features Little Owls. On the morning of January 17th Leicestershire awoke to a blanket of snow, this was encouragement enough to get me out there in search of some "snowy owls".
The conditions made it tricky driving as I negotiated the slippery country lanes, but I had no option as to see an owl at one of my "known sites" getting deep into the countryside and off the beat and track was a necessity. Initially no owls were seen which was a disappointment, however my persistence was eventually rewarded when a single Little Owl was espied perched up in one of its favoured trees. The views were really close but its not exactly the "snowy" image I was after, I suppose beggars can't be choosers?

Later on in the morning another Little Owl was located perched up on top of an old farm building, this bird was a lot further away than the first owl I located but this did allow for a bit more snow and nearer the wintry image I was after.

This morning was also the first time I have tried out the new Nissan 4 x 4 in "trying" conditions, it performed very well indeed and I didn't get stuck!
Sorry it's only a short post, much more to come in 2016 hopefully!
Catch up again soon.................
Lovely owls!
ReplyDeleteThank you Anne!
DeleteYou can't beat that combination - nice shots!
ReplyDeleteCheers Carl.
DeleteGreat shots Paul. Loving the snowy theme. A new 4x4 then, looking forward to hearing/seeing more about the vehicle.
ReplyDeleteHopefully it will serve me as well as the old Landie did?
DeleteDid the same myself this afternoon, you were much luckier than me. I saw naf all. Super shots Paul
ReplyDeleteOh I visited 20 or so sites, it was tough going and yes I was lucky in the end.
DeleteNice images mate!!!
ReplyDeleteCheers Mr "G".
DeleteGoing out in the snow certainly paid off for you, Paul! That first image is delightful.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a lot more snow than we did. I toyed with the idea of going out but, as the snow was already quite slushy first thing, opted to attempt some photography in the garden instead.
Yes we had a good fall of snow on sat night/sun morning Richard, I did op to brave it but didn't see as much as I'd like to have, cheers!
Deletegreat photo...and nice scenery !!!

Hand Raised Parrots for Sale, Macaw Parrots for Sale
Macaws are playful and active and they have excited personalities to go along with their sizes.
But this also makes them very challenging pets. They do have the ability to say words and mimic
our speech but it is not as clear as some other pet bird species.
Because they are so intelligent, macaws can be trained. You can start when your pet bird is young,
and work on hand-feeding, teaching your bird to talk or sing, and training your macaw not to nip, bite, or scream.
