WELCOME


Welcome to the new Owlers' Blog Network (OBN).

The intention is, primarily, to unite those persons who already have an interest in owls, and who have a blog which has a significant owl-related content, in order that they can easily share their interest and experiences, and build up a sense of camaraderie.

It is also hoped that those who are just developing an interest in owls will be inspired by the links to the blogs of people who are already passionate about these wonderful birds, and join our ranks!

If you have a blog with a strong owl content and would like to become part of this network, please e-mail me at richard@peglermail.co.uk with the URL of your blog. All I ask is that, in return, you add a 'gadget' link to the OBN from your blog using the HTML code that you will be supplied with.

If you have any information which you feel that owlers in general could benefit from, such as a valuable resource for information, or a warning about a developing situation, etc. please submit it to the OBN administrator at richard@peglermail.co.uk.

If you have found this site to be at all interesting/useful, it would be much appreciated if you would show your support by becoming a 'follower'. That way, you'll also see when a new owler joins the network, or if we publicise a new owling resource.

Thank you for visiting, and happy owling!

 Here's a taster of what is in store for you!

OBN Welcomes New Member, Andrew Duncalf


Andrew Duncalf recently introduced himself to me. He is fairly dedicated to owls (to put it mildly), and has an extremely interesting blog entitled Mid Cheshire Barn Owls. Please take a look by clicking on the link - I'm sure you will return after you do! In the meantime, here is one of Andrew's images to be going on with.

Photographer and Artist of Note - Noushka

For some time now I've been admiring the photography and artistic skills of Noushka (at Noushka's request, I have removed her surname), currently living in south-west France.  Noushka's wildlife photography (mainly of birds) is stunning. It has an illustrative quality about it, showing an amazing level of detail - just look and you'll understand what I mean!

It seemed, therefore, appropriate to use a recent post of hers, the subject of which was Long-eared Owls, as the basis of a recent decision to try and revitalise the Owler's Blog Network (which I've totally neglected for many months!).

A sample of Noushka's work is given below, but you can find the full post on her blog at http://1000-pattes.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/le-hibou-moyen-duc-asio-otus.html.

Please do take time to look at Noushka's other posts, even if they are not about owls!!

OBN Welcomes Scott Weston

Until today, the OBN only had five members with all but one from UK (England, even!). So you might think that when I said we had a second request for membership from Essex, it was from the English county of Essex - but no, this was a second member from Essex, Massachusetts, USA.

I am delighted to welcome latest OBN member Scott Western. Scott's blog is a little different to those of other OBN members, being primarily a documentation of the owl sites that he monitors, and with the illustrations almost being secondary to that documentation. It is, nevertheless, an interesting read!

Scott's blog is not on the 'Blogger' system, but on 'Wordpress'. The link to his blog in the right hand column of this blog still works just fine, even if it doesn't show the thumbnail image of his latest post.

So now the OBN has six members - four from old England and two from New England!!

Welcome aboard Scott!

A Spanish Photographer of Note

OBN member Christian Thompson has brought to my attention the amazing blog of Spanish photographer Mario Cea. 

I believe that one post, in particular, will be of interest to OBN  members, and visitors to this blog. It showcases Mario's skills as applied to capturing images of Little Owls in action. One of the images from this post is reproduced below.

 What I particularly like, apart from the fabulous images, is that Mario shares with us his set-up for achieving these images. This set-up exhibits a total dedication to his hobby.

Please also take the time to look at some of Mario's non-owl images - they are truly stunning. You can find a link to Mario's Little Owl post at http://mariocea-fotofauna.blogspot.com/2011/09/el-ano-del-mochuelo.html . To get to his other posts, go to http://mariocea-fotofauna.blogspot.com/. To see the full post, you need to click on 'LEER MAS' at the bottom right of each post. You might also find the blog of his group of photographic friends of interest. You can find that at http://quedadanatural.blogspot.com/
