Osprey Owls

owl, originally uploaded by Ladymaggic.

Owls are nocturnal and sleep all day..so seeing this family asleep at 7am was a real thrill.
They always use the same tree and have lived here for a while.
The adult birds were against the tree trunk looking like stumps, and the babies were amongst the leaves looking like some ruffled bark.

The baby Owls watched me from the shelter of the leaves
