In March me and my friend Dobrota went out several times at night to look
for owls. There was an unusually thick cover of snow this winter here
in Slovakia and it was reported that owls were starving and that
they might be seen near roads, where there is less of snow. One day we found
9 long-eared owls and one towny owl. Also one cooperative prey - a vole.
We drove about 60 km and bellow are some shots from our trip.
