They do like hiding in trees. I saw this young Night Heron fly over my car in Spain a couple of years ago so I stopped and watched where it landed. Would have definitely never known it was there otherwise. :lol:

Hiding in plain sight. Almost walked past these two, managed to capture them with their eyes open.

Excellent! Where was that? And what are they?
 
Starlings at dusk at Aberystwyth pier is supposed to be some sight by all accounts.

I wish I could say Siberia or some other exotic place, but it was Cornwall. I was with my granddaughter visiting Paradise Park (of all names) a small wildlife park. What they are, I’m sorry, I don’t know other than some sort of owl (?). To be fair, it was a great afternoon out, but not a lot of time viewing everything as the granddaughter was only 2 and didn’t have a lot of patience. 🙄
 
Plenty of Goldfinches coming to the sunflower seeds this morning.

My guess would be Tawny Frogmouth, a native of Australia and often mistaken for an owl

Thanks. Certainly looks the same bird, I took a lot of photos that day and didn’t make a note of any names. 🙄
I’ll put some more up when I get them together.

They look more like Nightjars than Owls.
