Owl a-hunting

We had such a wonderfully mild day today, with gorgeous blue sky. Took myself off to the park for a Family Day walk and was thrilled when I found one, and then a second, of the teeny Northern Pygmy-owls again, just a few minutes into my walk! After a short walk, I retraced some of my steps, passed a couple with a camera and asked if they had seen the owl. They told me to go and join a small group of people who were looking at it. This time, one of the owls was perched high up in tree. After a lot of watching and waiting, it suddenly swooped down near us, scooped up a tiny Meadow Vole and perched on a nearby fence post. It stayed a short while and then off it flew. I was shooting right into the sun and my few photos came out so pale, it almost looked like there was no image there. A bit of gamma brought out the picture, but it's very poor quality. Thought you might like to see it with its catch, though. I need to compare various photos, as I think that one of the owls (the female?) has a more orangy bill. I can't believe how lucky I have been this week - one treat after another.
