My first Barny..!

.. Having missed an opportunity or two in Norfolk last year I'm pleased that I now have a Barn owl that quarters a field 2 mins from my front door..! I decided to have a go at getting a shot in the poor light conditions that seem to be a daily occurrence just now but this is the first result and thought I'd share it..

Hoping for better as the days go on and the light improves, hopefully

Kind regards,

Brett

A grand picture, shame about the background but hopefully you'll be able to sort that out in the future.

I think that is one of the best Barn Owls in flight I have seen. The detail is tremendous. It is a shame about the lighter top half of the picture but I would be more than happy to have taken this. I wish

Great first barny! Nits covered.

B/G aside you've captured this really well Brett: must have been close too!

I'd be pleased with it.

Ditto Mark's comment.

Nits covered re the b/g, but a super image Brett! And a nice bonus that it is so close to you too!

Can't go too far here, all snowed in!

Agree with previous comments regarding the background but a very nice image never the less

All been said above Brett. I'll bet you're well chuffed.
