Northern Saw-whet Owl - a photo on Flickriver

            I happened to turn my head whilst talking to someone on a winter walk and found myself looking into the big round eyes of this tiny owl sitting on a nearby branch.  Had to wipe the ice off my camera lens in order to try and get any photos.  They are very poor quality but this is the only Northern Saw-whet Owl that I have ever seen.  I believe the highest this photo got on Explore was #119 on 11th November 2006.  Thanks, everyone!
