@NM_Jeff: Welcome to the forum - appreciate your input; we love owls too - but rarely see them here in town! *Occasionally hear them hooting in nearby woods/ civic park though - reminds me of previous cottage home in the 'wilds' of South Pembrokeshire!
My daughter bought me a little notebook once, with a really lovely drawing of them on it @Loxley, accompanied by the phrase - 'tiny clouds in tracksuits'. Sums them up well
I came off one of the more remote Munros [ in Glen Fyne] some years ago, and had a seat in the sun by the river on the way back. There was a sudden flurry of activity on the other side, and a little flock of them descended on a tree, stayed for about twenty seconds and then, just as quickly, they were away. Beautiful
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
It's funny @Woodgreen, but it's one of the favourite moments I had that day, despite it being a really good walk! We used to get them regularly in the garden round the corner, but they've not been in very often in this one. Hopefully, that will change

Whenever I hear a flock of them approaching, I have to stop and watch them.. Similarly if I hear the goldcrest up in the big conifers...one time this summer I was privileged to watch a goldcrest on the lowest branch of a pine in my garden. It was unconcerned about me, no doubt because usually they feed in the topmost branches where there are no people! It was a treat.

Hold onto that memory Fairygirl. 🙂
