An attempt at one of the local West Norfolk Barn Owls. This one was amazing to watch as it flew along the drainage channels and then UNDER a small bridge - maybe only 3ft clearance. Now that's a picture I'd like to get - Owl emerging from under the bridge.
I got a few closer shots as the light faded, but this was my overall favourite. Whites are maybe a bit hot but difficult metering with the backlighting.

Hi Clive
As you said whites are a little hot but perhaps to be expected in view of lighting - but still a very nice shot and the composition is spot on for me!

Hi Clive
It's a good shot in a difficult situation, I would be happy with it.

Lovely environmental shot - I wouldn'e worry too much about blown whites unless they detract from a pic or mean you are missing out on some essential detail - I like it as it is,

BTW I'm impressed how you all get Barn Owls hunting in daytime - I allways thought they where exteme night-hunters only....
