A snowy owl has been making regular appearances at Sam Smith Park lately. It’s been seen in a number of spots around the park, but the most common place is out on the yacht club docks. Often it will sit right on a dock, and quite a way out there it is easy to miss. Other times it finds a slightly higher roost. Today it was sitting on a high voltage hydro box way out on the docks.

It was not a great day for photography – cold and grey, with a light fine snow coming down – but I got this shot.
