    A few weeks ago I went to a country fair in english style somewhere in the dutch south. I did not take my camera with my, as I did not expect to see anything out of the ordinary. There was a lady with a snow owl 4 years old and a large species of Oehoe of almost a year old (don't know the english equivalent right now). Aaahhhhhh, she was standing there, I was standing some 30 cm distant, it would have been soooooo nice.
    In short: just like this one, you were really up close to this one!
    I like. What a long way to tell:)     Posted 13 years ago

      I know how you feel, there's so many missed photo opportunities particularly for DSRL users. As they say, the best camera is the one you have with you :) Posted 13 years ago

    The lady told me the eyes of the owl identify its main period of hunting. This owl having black eyes is mainly a nightly creature, though owls never really sleep and hunt during daytime also.
    Yellow eyes = mainly during daytime, orange eyes = dusk, black eyes = night. Mainly that is.     Posted 13 years ago
