John, excellent, love the eyes and the red really makes a difference to the usual owl shot, is this a captive bird or are these wild or baited?

Hi Folks thanks for your comments. Hi John it is a Wild Snowy Owl and for this shot you cannot bait them. Go into my Website and you may wish to join me next year.
