Eagle Owl on a mission (c)
Taken today whilst out exercising Kaln the Eagle Owl.

This shows a bit more of his natural flying ground. The post in the background for some will be a bit distracting but for me & Kaln, we like it plus it's a post he enjoys landing at times.

Thanks for looking :toast:

Very nice Vince, like the setting and Kaln is one impressive looking bird.

Shhshshush, don't tell him, he knows this already, fair play though it doesn't half play on it at times lol.

Cheers Andy :toast:

Very nice Vincent, a fine study of the bird, i dont mind the post myself.

I like the settings. Normally such a post would be a nice place to sit on, just like Kaln does.
No problem for me.

I also took a look at your site and there a lot of nice pictures. I find it a pity that I live in Holland. But we have some of these centres too I think.

Hello Vincent.

The setting and Owl work beautifully together, makes for a really nice image to view.

Excellent shot Vince. I like the way that the grass leads the eye straight to the bird.

Hi Vincent,

Lovely shot and a very nice setting.

Lovely shot Vincent and i do think the post in the BG adds to the story in this case.

Greetings,

I really like this. He looks very menacing.
What happened to the wild Eagle Owl that was hanging around your centre ?
