Searching For The UK's Rarest Owl

In this video I'm going in search of the UK's rarest owl, the Long-Eared Owl. With just a few thousand breeding pairs this elusive bird can be tricky to find, so the importance of having a circle of photography friends came into play in the creation of this film! I was told of a location where it may be possible to see and hopefully photograph the Long-Eared Owl. Armed with my trusty Z9 and a thermal scope to help spot them I headed into the woods. Join me as I try to find one of the UK's most beautiful birds of prey. ABOUT MY CHANNEL Hi, I'm Simon Eardley. Welcome to my channel! Wildlife photography doesn't have to be complicated.
