Owl Gallery

These pictures show four of the five resident species of British Owl.


The end of 2006 and early 2007 is proving to be productive  with Owls seen on at least 10 occasions (with 4 species seen during the first few weeks of 2007) including one day in Leicestershire that produced 3 species in one evening.
