      It's quite normal for an owl to fly over water Natty, I've seen two of those owls flying across the north-sea, they probable came from England. Posted 5 years ago

      Thank you Christine, to be honest with you, there where 4 owls in the area that day, and to many birdwatchers on the dijk, so this owl had to take a detour to avoid all those people. Posted 5 years ago

        Nice that it flew by you though! I was lucky to see a snowy owl once. It was sitting on some rocks, right on the edge of the ocean. Too bad I didn't have my camera with me! Posted 5 years ago

          That would be once in a lifetime, to see one , and of course that was bad luck, going out without your camera. Posted 5 years ago

            Ha, yes - you are bound to see something awesome when you neglect to bring your camera. Posted 5 years ago
