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!

  • Tales from the Riverbank

    ByDawn

    The thin January light seeps through Winter’s brown stems, warming the muddy tones faintly golden. The cold grips my limbs despite three layers, as I sit frozen to the damp riverbank. A Blackbird whispers his subsong in the cool sunlight, practising for when Spring arrives. The water is high, and the river flows fast, eddies…

  • Snow Buntings

    ByDawn

    Had a day off yesterday, so decided to head up to the coast. Saw my first ever Snow Buntings! Brilliant! We saw the Snow Buntings as soon as we arrived, but they were quite flighty and disappeared for a while as there were a few dogs around. There were already some other photographers around, so…
