As someone who has very few shots of owls your comment makes me very envious.
Nice light on the owl, but the maggies look to be in shadow. Still a nice capture.

Wow, 5 owls! That must have been amazing! Not surprised the Magpies weren't very happy! Lovely light, nice behaviour shot.
Shame the Magpies didn't catch the same light but its a very nice shot. I really liked the one shaking on the post which you must have deleted

you mean this one. :-)
its interesting, most of the people i showed at work like the first pic the most, hence i changed it.
but some photographer friends prefer the shaking one :-) .
interesting to get feedback from non photographers .
you can see the dust and bits coming out of his feathers.

Love the flight shot, awsome lighting on the Owl. Great stuff!

I prefer the second one, but great light in both.

I like the lighting on the first one best, but would have been happy to have taken either.

Hello Mark.
Both great shots for me and lucky you to have the five owls to play with.
