Little Owl Taken today using car as a hide.
Have taken this bird before sat on a hay stack. The background didn't do it justice, but feel this is is more apropiate.
Weather not that brilliant today hence the higher iso.

Nikon D2X 600mm AFS II + 1.7 conv.

Beautiful capture Major. I really like this one - the colours in the rusty building compliment the owl really well!

I never seem to see these when I have my camera with me. :frown:

Super capture, really interesting surroundings I've heard they hung around farm outbuildings.

Cracking shot of a admired Owl, the bg IMO works really well with the Owl, very natural :toast:

Hi Major

Love the overall image and the BG helps to convey just how small these birds are!

Hi Major,
I love the setting as it reminds me of a pair of little owls that used to live in a barn near me.
Great shot.
Regards Rob. :toast:
