It was very difficult to choose, I just loved the dog in the snow, and the sheep, and all of them, loved the owl, but he did look a bit stuffed.  Just hope it was a real owl.  Grin Grin

Well, thank you everyone who voted for my owl photo.  I can assure you that the owls I have roosting in my garden are very real indeed.  Those beady eyes do look piercing but don't seem to scare the little birds as all my feeders are beneath the trees where the owls are!  I have been disecting their pellets and to an untrained eye there appears to be bones of voles and birds.  I have recently got a guide that I hope will help me with identification. 

I have put a thread about the owls in the Wildlife section.

See: http://www.allotments4all.co.uk/smf/index.php/topic,65183.msg662061.html#msg662061

Thanks again for your votes and congratulations to the runners up.

Thank you Betula

It is not a good camera, but I was fortunate that the subject was so near.  Mine is just an ordinary instant digital camera.  My OH has a much better one; a bridge camera.  I often borrow his for shots that are further away but in this case my little one was good enough.

I can only apologise for being such a twit.  Don't get any owls in Enfield, it was a wonderful picture, good enough for the Countryfile calender.
