British Wildlife Centre – Part V

ByDawn

A Tawny tonight from the British Wildlife Centre. A real treat to get up close to this stunning bird, absolutely beautiful. You rarely see these normally strictly nocturnal owls in the wild. More often they are heard – Tawny Owls make the classic ‘twit – twhoo’  which is usually a duet between the male and female. Again, I’ve not edited out the jesses in these photos – this is a captive bird.

Just one more part to come from my British Wildlife Centre series, be prepared to say awww!

    Well, not had very much time for photography of late due to work, but I’ve been trying to fit it in where I can. The last few evenings I’ve spent some time at the local rabbit warren, not too far from home. It’s a great location to take advantage of the evening light, but I’m…

    A Barn Owl! Firstly my apologies for my lack of posting of late, I am still here, honest! Not had any time to get out with the camera unfortunately, but I have just discovered that the pair of Barn Owls at my favourite local nature reserve –  Redgrave and Lopham Fen – now have a…
