Long-eared Owl

Long-eared Owl

This Long-eared Owl had been at Dungeness RSPB Reserve for a few days so it was great to find that it was still there and positioned close to the Visitor Centre. The Long-eared Owl was visible near the edge of dense vegetation next to the dipping pond. The wind was blowing strongly which made it difficult to hold the camera steady, leaves were blowing across the owl’s face and the light was gloomy. Overall, I would describe this as a photographic challenge.
