Joy of Flight

Others swoop and soar, I’m happy to just sit quiet watching for the good photo opportunities.

Looking at me in the hopes of some food rather than actually posing I think — it’s been a long Winter here already!

This European Eagle Owl was visiting Inverness High Street to help raise funds for the Bird of Prey Rescue Centre based in nearby Croy.
Not traditionally considered a native Scottish owl this huge (5 foot wing-span) bird had to be rescued in 2006 after concerns over the disruption to local birds, wildlife & pets – although harassment of the town’s resident seagulls had reportedly been very welcome!
