Hi all
Now that the madness of the summer season is coming to an end - I run a tea room in Norfolk - I managed to get out with the camera the other evening, intent on snapping a barn owl that I've often seen perched on a dead tree stump. Job done!

The way that the perch snake towards the bird and the direction of the head turn is just perfect. The light is bonus.

there's nothing more satisfying than getting the shot you intended to get, and this is a beauty. The perch and lighting are lovely.
