House martin season is in full swing down at Falmer Pond. The adults are busy preparing for their broods, gathering mud for nest building at the water’s edge. There’s a swallow in among them.
And a photo from Monday.
Ok, I admit this is not a house martin!
It’s a Siberian Eagle Owl, part of a display of birds of prey at Wakehurst Place.
Camera note: all photos taken with the Canon 7D Mark II and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens.

Amazing action shots.The owl is a bonus, but what a wonderful face. Wise? Knowing? Can see how the association arose.
Thanks! The house martins are always fun, but I couldn’t not post the owl. Agree… they have great faces.
Love that owl photograph, even though it is not in its natural habitat!
Darko, thanks!
