Wet but Successful
She managed to keep hold of this Vole for a change, Kestrels are a real pain at the moment, they keep stealing the Voles... :mad:

Hi Anthony,

Thats a great shot !! The light on the Barn Owl and the BG are just sublime. I really need to get my kit out again and get these guys in the view finder !!!

Excellent work

Regards

Rob

Thanks everyone, I was very pleased to capture one with a Vole at last....

Craig, it has just a tad cut of the top, cropped to A4.. The first few frames when it landed on the post I couldn't fit it in, panic set in for a few seconds but I pulled the lens back on the bean bag and managed to get her all in thankfully.. I would have rather been a bit further back though, when she first landed her wings were spread and the pose looked great, live and learn...

Cheers everyone...
Tony
