Oh, that light! Goodness, it was absolutely awesome as I photographed this beautiful owl. I am not sure if this was dad or mom (I suspect mom). As I walked along I could hear a magpie raising a huge ruckus – a telltale sign that there is some sort of raptor nearby. Sure enough, following the sound led me to the owl. The magpie didn’t hang around which was fine, this is what I was looking for.
