I had the opportunity to watch two majestic young ones, for the first time spreading their wings and flying into freedom this autumn. For Frank – Eurasian Eagle-Owl.

OMG. These babies are beautiful!!!! What a treat for you – thanks for sharing with us!!
So glad to share – it was a great chance to see them.
I love your response to the challenges and this one was perfect as well. Seriously, I never thought I’d see eyes like these on an owl. Awesome capture!
Thank you, sheetal – unforgettable eyes!
Great look at this wonderful bird, Ann-Christine. Those talons are impressive and the wings so huge and the feathers perfect. A powerful predator. Happy I’m not a mouse. 🙂
Ha, true. I was a little worried about how they would manage on their own out there. No parents, no help. But, the ”breeders”, the human family that brought them up are very skilled. They have brought up new owls to our country for at least 25 years. But always find some in electric lines and some hit by a train or car. Hopefully some will survive to build a family of their own.
Yes, it is amazing that many manage to survive despite the obstacles we place before them.
Gosh, look at those eyes. The wings – young and powerful.
My like button doesn’t work, Ann-Christine.
We were all, about 15 persons invited, in awe. Total silence and concentration – then – letting go!
Sometimes my button does not work either, mostly when I am in the reader using many buttons after each other.
A huge thrill. 🙂

Such magnificent birds they are!
Indeed! Such gratefulness to have been there when they found freedom!
Love these photos! Wonderful! 💙
Thank you – I am so grateful to have been invited to see them take off into their new life!
That is one big bird 🙂
It is – and a beauty. The feeling to see them take off for the first time…imagining how it must be for the owls!
Oh that is so magnificent!
It really was a magnificent moment too – to see them fly for the first time – imagine the birds’ feeling! Floating in the air, finally in their proper element.
Makes my heart soar.
Wow, what a sight, Ann Christine!
Wow! That’s awesome!

I will never forget those eyes! So intense! They were released very fast, so time to take a photo was short.
