Snowy Owl (Nyctea scandiaca)
Vagrant ***
Got lucky today 5th January 2009;
walked to the general area and waited for the bird to find me ..... About 30 yards distant
Two digiscoped images from the 5th
January
With company. Crows had been
mobbing it with very little effect
Quite a trek to get this one.
Late afternoon on the 27th December. About 70 yards distant
About 500 yards away. A record
shot digiscoped through my Leica Scope on 21st December 2008
The first Snowy Owl in Cornwall for about 60 years. Looks like a first winter bird.
