Comments : | 17:45 (I had the pleasure to see a perfect example of a beautiful snowy owl, this evening. Lovely front view of him flying towards me about 12 feet of the ground lite up with my car lights, defo a snowy massive wingspan just slightly smaller than a buzzard, all bright white, quite slender wing profile. From front. 2 miles outside Clerihan, on the Clonmel side. ) |
