Watch the birdy.
Taken in poot conditions this morning from the car.
This Barn Owl spent the whole of the morning hunting from these posts.
If it missed its prey it would move along the fence from time to time.
It was there for at least three hours.

D3 + 600mm AFS II + 1.4 conv.
1/400 @ f5.6.
ISO 640.
Ex Comp -0.7EV.
Dynamic 51 point.

I suspect you already know the nits, so I won’t go into them, Sharp where it counts. A very nice capture.
