Long-eared Owl
"Tonight (18/01/02 at 10:40pm) Steve Blain and myself had an Owl hunting session. The highlight was awesome (to ten feet) view of Long-eared Owl on the road just inside the Beds border with Cambs. I got 32 pictures of the bird and Steve got about 6 minuites of video of it. We Also saw 4 Barn Owls, 2 in the same area as the LEO, also 3 Tawnies, 1 Fox and 1 Muntjac deer.I have added 3 images to the Bedsbirds image file." Nigel. View my images at www.nigelblake.co.uk
