Boxing Day 2025

Tawny Owl

Thanks to a tip-off I went out with my camera and binoculars along the river Aire looking for a Tawny Owl. The header image is the first view I had of it.

As usual you can tap/touch/click on an image to see it in better quality in the carousel gallery with an i for more information. And if you like what you see please click on one or more of the Share buttons at the bottom.

As expected the Owl spent most of the time with its eyes closed. It opened one eye slightly for a second or two, quite possibly spotting me before I saw it, but took no interest in what was around and closed it again.

I didn’t spend long there because I didn’t think the Owl would do anything more than occasionally open an eye, I didn’t want to disturb it, it (the weather) was cold, and the Sun was already quite low in the sky, after all we are only just past the Winter Solstice.

Please click on the images to take you to better quality images in the carousel gallery where the i will let you see the title, and caption, and some photography info.
