Went to look for herons, but they had scattered, taking advantage of the weather as well. This is the only image that sort of worked after cropping ...

Mob of Emu by Andrew Priest, on Flickr

Not a great photo. I shot through the car window as I did not want to disturb them. Emus can in my experience be very flighty.

This is the first time I have ever seen a mob in the wild. If I am lucky, I might see one or two together.

My local Barn Owl sat on the fence around my cottage between 08:00 and 08:15 this morning scanning the ground for prey items. It was photographed through a double glazed door at distances varying from 7 to 15 metres (20-40 feet).

Contemplating the vastness of the Pacific Ocean (or perhaps something else).

The Cardinals were mocking me, but I still managed to sneak up to the windows and get a couple of images.

Another capture through the double glazed kitchen door, this time a Common Buzzard Buteo buteo which is also after rodents in the field used by the Barn Owl recently posted in this thread. It was little further away than the Barn Owl had been.

Back to Terra Cotta Park looking for the Barred Owl. This time we were successful. Used my trusty 18 year-old Lumix FZ20 (my first digital camera) set at its maximum 432 mm (equiv.) focal length.

A Barn Owl driven by hunger to hunt during the day, and successfully, it's caught a vole, probably a Field Vole based on my dissection of pellets from this individual during recent months.
