Autumn Barn Owl (c)
Taken this evening during a quickish photo session with Luna.

(c) in title for captive bred yet Luna does fly free & whilst out she does catch her own voles like a wild Barn Owl would do. Try getting her back in after lol.

Thanks for looking :toast:

A beautiful bird Vince. I actually saw my first live wild Barn Owl a fortnight ago, a rare treat for me even if just a brief one.

Superb - it's the colours and textures that come together so well here.

Thanks for the comments all, :toast:

Stephen, the gate belongs to Danny Green, well sort of lol. Hi Danny :biggrin: :wavey:

Rob, its great to see these in the wild isn't it. For me, I still get the same buzz when seeing one even after many years of working with them, amazing ain't they :biggrin:

Great shot the whole composition works also agree that buzz kicks in when you find one in the wild every time.
