A day out photographing Long Eared Owls

A Winter Adventure: Photographing Long-Eared Owls in the Moors Join me on an icy morning in the moors as I set out to capture stunning footage and photographs of the elusive long-eared owl. Armed with my Sony A1 camera, a Sony 400mm f/2.8 lens with a 1.4x teleconverter, and the DJI Pocket Osmo 3 for vlogging, I immerse myself in the frosty landscape to document these incredible birds in their natural habitat. ✨ In this video, you’ll see: • Long-eared owls gracefully hunting for voles in the open moors. • Moments of quiet beauty as the owls perch among pine trees. • And a beautiful surprise appearance right at the end. 🦉 Facts about long-eared owls: • These nocturnal hunters have extraordinary hearing, enabling them to locate prey even under snow. • Their “ears” are actually feather tufts used for camouflage and communication, not hearing. • Long-eared owls are often found in dense woodlands or near open fields, making this frosty moorland a prime hunting ground. Whether you’re a fellow wildlife photographer, a bird enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of nature, I hope this video inspires you to explore and connect with the wild.
