White Feathers

A female barn owl checking out a sound in the grass as is the owl in the Extra. Both came up with nothing. She rather reminded me of an eagle here before they dive.

They will be heading into the breeding season soon and with a plentiful supply of voles and rodents they generally breed earlier rather than later. 

It was utterly freezing out there especially because of the wind and my finger tips were so painful it was difficult using the camera. Two pairs of gloves on my left hand was slightly cumbersome but helped a bit. My hand warmers weren't working for some reason - in fact they have never been very good right from the start.

Buzzard flyover in Extra caught in the sunshine.
