    Taken yesterday. He is not much bigger than a blackbird and has his favourite tree down the lane from which he squeaks loudly every evening.
    Fortunately I had my camera and he seemed quite happy to pose as I managed to get quite close, about fifteen feet away.
    Interesting how the camera flash gives him red eye.
    Hope it comes out ok.

    Red eyes.

    It's not the flash, it'll have been up all night.

    That's the sort of owl that'll be in Europe in three years, it's so massive.
    I prefer our quiet, understated owl.

    If i'm not mistaken, that's a European eagle owl, and a beauty too.
