Northern Exposure

By Northern

Not the bird I'd hoped for.

Took a birl round the island this evening. Seemed to spend most of it chasing owls to try and get a decent pic.

The owls however are very badly behaved, coming close enough to me and the bike for me to get a really good view but as soon as I stop to grab the camera out of my pocket they would head off in the opposite direction.

So instead you have a pic of my bike, the graveyard and, if you look closely, a plane coming in to Kirkwall Airport.


Edit -

For all those who would like to see a pic of a short eared owl in Orkney, rather than my hints that they might exist. Have a look at Orcades days blips for a superb pic of a short eared owl in Orkney. He has some great bird pics.
