A barn owl a first for me.Was delighted to see these beautiful birds last week in Norfolk.I should have gone earlier in the year to see them more in the day instead of having to get up so early and wait to see if they would appear.Have managed quite a few different shots some in reasonable light although we didn t have much of it and some on cloudier days,and a few perched ones which I will post also.I would like to say a huge thank you to Major,if you are looking Major enjoyed our chats and when I come again I will pop and say hello,thanks again.

Canon 50D,Canon 500f4L + 1.4 convertor,ISO f5.6,1/1000

When you have travelled all that way it has just got to be a fantastic feeling when you not only see and Capture Mr Barn Owl this way.
Not easy perticularly in flight when you only have brief chances through out the year so well done.
