Long-eared Owl, Asio otus, hiding in spruce tree, Rogaland.Canon EOS-1D MKII, 500mm, f/4, 1/125 sek @ f/5,6, ISO 200
Long-eared owls are not always easy to spot while roosting in dense undergrowth next to the stem of trees. This winter some birds have been spending the days in some Norway spruce trees next to a public road. They have been observed by many, and have even made to the local newspapers. Now spring is arriving in Norway and the birds are spreading out. After a high in January with seven birds there is now only two left. Hopefully they will find somewhere to nest nearby, so that we can follow them into the summer.
I can, on the other hand, not let go of winter. The following week I will go on a short trip to northern Finland for some Great Grey Owl action, before leaving for a week on the Svalbard East coast. I'll let you know how this works out.

Kjekt å se at de er her fremdeles! :)
Den ene ønska meg faktisk velkommen hjem i dag; på vei hjem fra flyplassen så jeg den ene lande på et veiskilt rett foran oss, og jeg er temmelig sikker på at jeg så den løfte på den ene vingen og hilste når taxien kjørte forbi! ;)
