Last weekend I booked two overnight stays in Friesland in the hope of photographing the Short-eared Owl. Found a female owl right away on Friday evening. Unfortunately couldn't get a good photo of it, but felt like a good start.
Saturday morning we went out again. Unfortunately, no owl was found. We did find a kestrel. These are common in this region, I noticed.
Unfortunately, I found that I had driven a screw into the tyre of my car. The risk of driving down many farm roads in search of the owl. This was quickly repaired in the morning, allowing me to continue.
In the afternoon the weather was very stormy, but beyond my expectations this male owl came flying in and sat on a pole not far from me. After I took a few photos, he flew on again, looking for food.
The rest of the weekend unfortunately saw few owls up close anymore. The ones I did see stayed at a safe distance in the middle of the field. However, I did see many buzzards, falcons and a marsh harrier.
All in all, a successful weekend!
With my camera I love to go into nature or the city to capture fleeting moments.
