Springtime Owls

I nearly didn’t stop at Sheepcote Valley this morning. It was overcast, but there was just sufficient hint of the sunshine to come to keep me there. I trekked down into the valley in search of the short-eared owls, and wasn’t disappointed. I saw three of them (I’m sure the fourth wasn’t far away).

Two short-eared owls flying over Sheepcote Valley, Brighton

And finally, another shot of one of the owls perching.

      Darko, I’ve been spending less time with the camera, but mornings like this one make up for it. 🙂
