Barn Owl
I have been working on Barn Owls for a while now at a site in Norfolk but the shot I have in mind has not really come off yet but I will keep on trying, this is nearly there but not quite. This one was hunting most of the day because of heavy rain the night before your best chance of seeing one during the day.

Canon 1D MK11, 500mm lens, 1.4x, 1/400, ISO 200

Like the swaying reeds in this Danny and the obvious intent of the bird.
Think this has come off besides what ever intent you had.

The colour of the grasses certainly provide a lovely setting for the Owl. Also like the light coming through the wings. Looking forward to your intended image with anticipation. :wavey: :smile:
