The Hunters Moon

The Hunters Moon is the full moon that follows the Harvest Moon  usually the biggest and brightest of the year, and nearest Samhain.
Here an Owl glides silently over the standing stones of Callanish, or Calanais on the Isle of Lewis, in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides, exploiting it’s light.
The Hunters Moon is also known by it’s Anglo-Saxon name of Blood Moon, as this was around the time surplus livestock would be slaughters before the onset of winter in times of old.
Although widely adopted by the English speaking world, Hunters Moon is really the Native American name.
 The Hunters Moon next occurs on November 2nd at 19.15 hrs GMT
