One of the most memorable encounters I've had this year, in wildlife photography took place on the edge of a woodland in south Lincolnshire. As dusk settled, I was fortunate enough to spot a juvenile Long-eared Owl perched low, just off a woodland path. The owl, still reliant on its parents for food, showed no fear as it curiously observed its surroundings, providing a rare opportunity for close-up photography.
The fading light presented a significant challenge, making it difficult to capture sharp images. However, with a bit of patience and the use of a timer, I managed to photograph this beautiful bird in the near-darkness. The experience was nothing short of magical; observing the owl’s characteristic head bobs and sways as it prepared for a hunt was both educational and deeply rewarding.
