Barn Owl
This is a second shot in the series from when I stuck the old post up in a rough grass field, sat in a hide - got several shots, and went home.
All in about an hour. Biggest fluke I,ve ever had!
Had this one ready a while back and forgot it.
Sigma 50-500
D200
800
ISO 50th sec f7
Cheers

Lovely! Must try this. The one we found seems to like perching in a hedge, which isn't very considerate.

That's a fantastic image John, and I'd be really chuffed with it.

I've got a passion for Owls, but haven't had the courage to post any of my images yet due to the massively high standard of the pics on this forum!

This one doesn't do anything to dissuade me of that view! :smile:
