Little Owl in the rain

Not the best weather for photographing Owls today.

A few of my non-wildlife images from this year so far

Weir Heron

Earlier in the year I was in Edinburgh and from the Hotel window there was a Heron that would regularly frequent the weir that was on view below.  It could be seen feeding every night on the river bank.  Needless to say, the photos of this activity were rubbish.

It also fed during the day.  This is a shot of it standing in the middle of the weir.

Fox cubs, day 4

Went to site today and couldn't find them.  Could see some footprints (human) next to their holes, so there is a chance that they had been spooked.  Hopefully they'll be back about on Monday.

Here are a few more images from the previous days...

Fox cubs, day 3.

It was raining a fair bit today.  I spent an hour watching a rain sodden piece of waste ground and saw a Meadow Pipit.  That isn't what I had hoped to see.  So I briefly popped in on the way home to hopefully see my two new favourite mammals.  Except that I couldn't find two little Fox cubs - I could find four.   FOUR fox cubs that had spend most of the day couped up in a den that were playing around with each other little more than 20 feet away. 

Normally I would say rude words in these circumstances, but instead I said nothing.  What is there to say?

Fox cubs, day 2

Don't know how long this will last, but it is pretty cool to have a Fox cub staring right into the lens wondering what the little click-click-click noise is all about.

Fox cubs. No, really.

Following on from Fox pictures earlier in the year, here is one of the cubs.  There is another one but it is a much less of a tart in front of a camera.

Enjoy.

Don't worry, I've got loads more...

Little Owl again

Although this time it was in a regular spot and less hurried.
