You know you’ve been stared at when a Long-Eared Owlet stares at you…

Despite last year’s nest being destroyed by Storm Eowyn in January, the Long-Eared Owls at WWT Castle Espie Wetland Centre have fledged another youngster 🦉☺️

Apparently the adult didn’t want to be photographed 🤷‍♂️

Apparently it’s #SuperbOwl time again.
Well, it’d be rude not to…

Nothing to see here, just a beautiful adult Long-Eared Owl in the woodland at #WWTCastleEspie this afternoon.
It sat on the branch, staring at anything that moved, for over 30 minutes.
Then, as I was changing settings, it disappeared like a ghost.

Apparently it’s #SuperbOwl weekend so here’s the best photo I’ve got of one.
One one two adorable young #LongEaredOwls in the woods at #WWTCastleEspie back in 2017. A day never to be forgotten 😲😍

Eh? What do you mean “football”..? 🤷‍♂️😏
