Long eared Owlet Calling Video. As Requested!

Long-eared owlet calling from Hawthorn

This is the video I took of the Long-eared Owlet calling. Please note that it is almost dark, and that the Owl is perched in a very thick dark Hawthorn bush, therefore the EOS 7D is cranked up to its highest possible ISO setting, meaning that the picture quality is nothing but awful, but the audio I thought was just perfect.

Super sound, super birds.

Hi Steve. Thanks for the comment. Will do on my way now.

Mary. No this is one of 2 from an original 4 owlets. Both of these are now very strong, flying very well, so should not have any problems.
