I was on a trip recently in Extremadura in Spain and it was an amazing place for owls, especially little owls. They’re pretty abundant and chill so I was able to get some nice shots which I wanted to share here with fellow superbowlers:

Took this a while ago at RSPB Sandwell, would have liked to gotten closer as this tree was favorite perch for all sorts but the area is protected. Right at the end of my zoom and crop

These two derps were standing on a rock in my local creek a couple of years ago

A robin took up an preexisting nest on our porch and I’ve been snapping pictures when the momma is away.

These are my current owl residents!

No idea what it is.

This guy likes to hang around outside my work living up to his name. Well, bucko, guess who brought the big lens today.

It’s a close run thing, but I think this is my favorite picture from my expedition over the last couple of days. This one has a bit of a story attached to it, as well as a bit of serendipity and a lot of luck.

Where’s this nerd

I took it last year. Had to stalk him in the woods. He cooperated though. Came down from the tree tops to my height.

Down in the valley, now, somewhere out in the desert. Bat country, perhaps.
