It's not just owls that need excellent eyesight. Locating this brood of juvenile Long-eared Owl needs excellent eyesight on behalf of the observers as well. Although getting towards full size and able to fly these juvenile Long-eared Owls are very difficult to locate as they stand motionless in the tops of trees bordering the moor. Despite the poor weather recently the owls appear to be doing well at the moment.
They are great birds Ian but extremely elusive so you have to make the most of any opportunity. Unfortunately it is usually close to dark when I see them.
Wonderful stuff Andy :-)
