The first I posted a photo of, on Fathers Day… a Cape Eagle-Owl… it had been brought to the rehab centre after being hit by a car, it was to be released back into the wild… and I believe it now has..
The second is a African Grass-Owl…. it had been taken away from someone who decided it would be nice to have as a pet… confiscated and brought to the rehab centre… it would have to stay there as apparently it has no idea how to catch its own food, or who it’s natural enemies are… they are not prepared to send it to a certain death so it is kept for education…
The amber color of their eyes is so striking!
they almost look right through you…
Owls are such wise-looking birds. 😉 You got some fantastic shots, bdt.
Wise old fellows alright, and such silent fliers…
I love owls, the have a face like “well of course!” (know it all)… Beautiful shots!
The wise old owls, yep you got that right… thanks for the comment..
Hi,
Very nice photos, I especially like the photos of the owl in flight, they are a magnificent bird.

WOW! How exciting… wonderful shots you did dear Rob, I love these birds, they are so beautiful and having a very strong image… Thank you dear Rob, love, nia
Thanks so much Nia…
Beautiful shots. Owls are one of my favorite birds. I’ve never been able to photograph one in the wild – only at a park. One day I hope to photograph one in the wild. I know they’re out there. I hear them occasionally at night.
I have a few in the wild more the smaller varieties…
Fantastic shots! O.K. I have to ask…what type of camera do you use…awesome!
Simple Fujifilm HS10
Thank you Rob….the two of you make an unbeatable combination 🙂
Coming from you I’m humbled…
Wow, fantastic shots!!! The ones in flight are just amazing! Thank you for sharing these with us. 🙂
They are nice I agree…
