I always open your posts with anticipation, and you very rarely disappoint.

This is definitely not a disappointment - it's a beautiful pose, well lit and well framed. :toast:

Well captured Major, the wings up, legs down, not the 'norm' posted, great to see. The colours are very sympathetic to the subject. :toast:

Many thanks all for your welcome comments. I guess Barn Owls do rank as one of my favourites Mark and it is so nice to be blessed with having these beautiful birds around.
Always a constant talking point amongst the customers that come in to see me.

Major.
