Isle of Mull day three, Short Eared Owl

Another day on the Isle of Mull, today was fairly quiet except for the Short Eared Owl.  He hunted for quite a while but at some distance from the camera. Best view of the day though was a stunning male hen harrier, no pictures unfortunately but brilliant to see this awesome bird. As said here are the short eared owl pictures and a red deer also enjoying the pasture at the end. Tomorrow we visit the White Tailed Eagle again and having learned from the experience of my first attempt at photographing these birds I picked up some stunning shots, so worth a look in tomorrow.

Wonderful images of the Owl. Would be interested to know where (which country) you saw the Hoopoe. We failed to see one in the southern Peloponnese last year ...

Great captures of the owl Bob; especially where he's staring at you.
