B/O dive
These birds never cease to please me, they change shape five times in five shots but when they do this I just wonder at them.

Techs: 20D,800/f4.5,ISO 800,lens 600 f4, car roof as rest.

That's a cracking shot - well done Bob. looks pretty sharp and yet you have still got a sense of movement there. I like it very much.

One of the nicest barn owl shots I have seen. The texture of the foliage, the light through the owl's wings and its posture are all superb.

I must have missed this earlier Bob. Absolutely superb image. One of the best in-flight Barn Owl shots I've seen. Lovely light and that foreground almost makes it look as if the bird is diving into the flames of a fire.
