One of many Barn Owls that I have visited and photographed this week, a much wanted "unhindered by twigs etc" shot of it perched in a tree.

Hi Nigel,
A good image of the Barn Owl in his environment. The bird really 'pops' against the darker coloured surroundings

Hi Nigel, the Barn Owl stands out great in this surroundings. I staked out the other evening hoping just to see one with no joy. In my area they seem to be nocturnal.
Nice nigel, you obviously had the camera set to "prune" mode!!

The bird does indeed stand out nicely from the background. If quality allows, a tighter crop might give it more impact still. Even so, one to be proud of.
