Snowy Suffolk. (Pretty sure this was Easter Sunday?)

Fantastic shot. Poor thing seems to have snow clinging to his/her face. Amazing detail in the feathers.

Very impressive. Always great to see a different Barny shot. The snow fall is excellent. I love the eye contact and the lifting talon. Excellent shot. :toast: :toast: :toast:

Lovely shot m8.....I've yet to get any decent shots of these lovely birds....one day!

A cracking image-i would have taken it with the bird slightly lower in the frame for editorial work but easy to add some to the top if needed

Hello A.R.D

Just excellent. Love the falling snow, but the snow on the owls face really adds to this for me. :wavey:

Nicely done ARD,

A fine shot indeed, and a real feel for the wintery elements :toast:

I'm shivering along with it! The eye contact and pose add something special to the already great shot :smile:

Like this a lot - very different to the norm and the raised foot makes it for me.
