Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: older owlet

I couldn't find any of the four owls in the Burnsmead family when I called in at the park the day before yesterday. However, on 23rd June, I did see them and they were so accessible. Just a delight to see the two youngsters. This is the older owlet - just loved her/his glassy eyes and beautiful wing feather patterns and colours. Thank goodness for 18x zoom : )

This is the older of the two Great Horned Owlets at Burnsmead. Yesterday, when we arrived at the park and did a bit of searching, we found Junior on this branch, her younger brother (?) on the branch below (at my eye level), and Mom was in the next tree. Junior just had to show off her wing power : )

I think this was the older of the two Great Horned Owlets at Burnsmead preening him/herself. Always amuses me to see this happen, as it just happens naturally. S/he was pulling the tail feathers through his/her beak.
