Well, it's not as good as many on here, but at least I got a half decent image of the bogey bird at last

Barn owls have always made sure they stay well away from me!

Comments appreciated as always.

Lovely shot Dave. A bit to central (vertically) for my taste, but still very nicely done.

Beautiful colours and great action detail. A very good shot, it's one of my bogey birds as well.
Well done

Well done Dave is it just not the best when you crack something that your heart is set on.
Nothing wrong with this image. Its a good un.

Nice to get a monkey off your back, and an image/experience to be pleased with.

Excellent execution, perhaps in need of a tad lightning?

Thanks for the comments. Now I know they come closer to me than a mile or two, hopefully I can get some more!
