After the storm
Following a short but intense thunderstorm, I decided to spend the last of the light in the field where I saw a hunting Long-eared Owl (Hibou moyen-duc) last week. This time I was treated to even more spectacular views as the bird landed not too far along the fence line from me, and proceeded to sit there for a good 10 minutes (drying out?), bathed in the evening sunlight. Magic!
Sunset over the owl field.
My route home was strewn with carcasses, including a Slow-worm and this (House?) mouse.
