Well I certainly did not head out to Reifel this afternoon with the expectation of seeing a Snowy Owl,
… but low and behold there was one roosting in a tree along the centre dyke trail.
It seemed to be resting fairly peacefully even with those stopping to admire the bird.
It was relaxed enough that it started a preening session,
… which was a great opportunity to capture this behaviour.
Then finishing with a nice glance towards those that were taking it all in. Use to seeing them out in the marsh, it was fun spending some time with this one in a tree.
