Potted owl + extra !
Very un natural and bait induced pic - like bird seed etc but in this case mealies. Bit like big cats in an African game reserve but cheaper ! :biggrin: :biggrin:

I don t care if it is baited it is a fantastic image, great title, really comical with that expression on its face as if he is saying mealworm again, you must feel really priviliged to have been able to work with these birds I know I would.

An excellent contrived shot. Shame it wasn't a hand-thrown pot, but that is being picky. :wink:

These little birds have such a great expresion on their faces that it must be hard to get a shot that doesn't appeal. Nothing wrong with a setting up an obvious image John and it's always a good pointer for those new to the game as to how to go about it.
