Rooster

.A series of images illustrating how a slight change of position, can result in a half decent view of an obscured owl.
These Long-eared Owl images taken with an i-Phone through Nikon fieldscope ( x30 mag )

Final image cropped - and taken from a lower (kneeling) position to try to avoid branches & twigs.
It shows the bird as well aware of the observer, although its body language tells us its not unduly concerned,  & happy to remain in its roost.
