SATURDAY CRITTERS

Recently a friend of mine Don, The Owl Man, brought his Owls to the WWT at Castle Espie and I went to photograph them. I am holding, a heavy Eurasian Eagle Owl and linking this post with Saturday Critters.










I have forgotten  the  names of some of these Owls 
but this one is the Great Grey Owl.



The middle darker owl is a Spectacled Owl.
Can anyone ID 7/8 and 11 images for me please?

Many thanks for visiting and also for laving comments.

    How thrilling to get so many wonderful close ups of the owl but even more thrilling is getting a chance to hold him.
