A well known Ural Owl in a well known spot at Onuma. We know 3 Owl 'holes' and the winter of 2008/9 was a good one for Owl sightings. There were often 3 or 4 photographers sat in the snow waiting for the Owl to do something (it never did).
This winter hasn't been so good for Owl pics. I've seen the Owl only once in this particular tree and it flew off as soon as I glanced at it................it must have moved to a more upmarket tree deep in the forest away from prying eyes...............
Lovely owl! They always sleep...!
ReplyDeleteLovely picture, congrats! I guess this owl is probably quite amazed to see so many humans in front of his house ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice shot. I haven't seen one in years---not since coming to Japan.
