Long Eared Owl
from a recent Offshoot outing to the bird of prey centre at Russborough.
I found I wasn't particularly good at any kind of action shots, but some of the birds did pose very patiently for straight portraits.

Beautiful isolated village on steep slopes. No cars can get in and the train needed a lot of tunnels
The best restaurant needed 200 almost vertical steps to get to it, but the food and views were wonderful

Razorbill close up
I love the bright yellow/orange of the Razorbill’s mouth.
Foxglove
I went to Kilanerin Woods (Gorey C. Wexford) with the hope of seeing some birds and when I arrived there were quite a few - but as soon as I put on a telephoto lens they vanished. So I photographed some Foxglove instead - Two morals of this story 1) put on your telephoto lens before you leave the house 2) The birds in Wexford have a keen understanding of photography and camera equipment

Very agile squirrel. Watched it patiently for hours until it was curious to see where I was and peeked out.

Quiver tree with social weaver bird nest
A post sunset glow on the quiver tree in Quiver Tree forest, Namibia, as the moon rises. The social weaver bird nest in the tree is a remarkable thing. These nests can be home to hundreds of birds and weigh more than 1000 kg! We were advised not to stand underneath the nests as snakes can drop out which go up there looking for eggs and chicks.
