Very, very nice Phil, lovely light. If this is the bird I think it is - I got a few shots earlier in the week in the field by the post box but I don't think anything this good. There also seems to be a pair (? established or forming) further up :smile:

That's a wonderful shot with a great pose and perfectly cropped but for me I would like to see it cooled down a touch to let other tones show though.

Possibly the best barn owl image I've ever seen. Just sublime. One suggestion - I might lose the tiny piece of grass that sticks up near the bottom middle - it catches my eye a little.
