Photos from Kent Owl Academy
Every year we love running our “Owls in the bluebells” workshops with toriandrewsphotography. Here are some of the results from yesterday’s shoot.
Leading photo is an Ural Owl by toriandrewsphotography.

So demure
The Tawny always makes me think of a Teddy Bear turned into an owl.
Long Eared Owl by trev.bird
This one the new off as the facial disc is a much different color than the North American ones I am familiar with.
This one is my favorite. Is his face differently colored because of environment? Or because he’s juvenile?
I like it too, since it was able to fool me what type it was.
I believe the color morph is environmental. There is this post about localized Tawny Owl color morphs which seems to be a similar situation.
Oh yeah! I even upvoted that post lol. That is truly a dramatic color shift. Really fascinating.
I do throw a lot of facts out there. Even I’m unsure at this point if I’ve posted things or not!
That is a spectacular photo
I agree. They picked a very good background to take the photos, and the owls themselves are very cuddly looking ones.
I came across an interesting article the other day I’ll have to share about staged owl photos. I didn’t get to read all of it, but it takes about the challenges of getting owl photos and the debate over adding a staged photo/video to nature documentaries.
