Mummy!!
1D2n, 600mm f4 is, 1/800s, f4, iso 400

Three wild tawny owlet have appeared locally and have been playing hide and seek with us. They usually win - especially since the trees are now in leaf. It was very difficult to get any shots without branches obscuring them.

Good job on getting a good, clear view and the yawn adds an extra element of interest.

Some one must love it , god they are ugly, but a great shot but I guees with the mouth closed and eyes open , gazing at the lens it could look quite endering, a bit like my grand daughter I guess !.

Luv it, hope mine in early June will be as co-operative, as the Little Owls have now moved further up the tree.

It's that beady little eye losty in all that fluff that amuses me. He's in there somewhere.
you have done very well to get this shot amongst the clutter. A very nice shot to have on your books.
