Little owl

I am always surprised just how little ,little owls are, by early summer the pair that I photograph were coming down from the oak trees and landing on perches that I had rigged up for them, when you see them just a few meters away their size hit you. This bird was quite bold and inquisitive, the angle its standing at is as taken, it was trying to see me behind the camera. This was taken about 200m from their nest site.
All comment welcome.

This is beautiful
I love those eyes, they're lovely as is the soft lighting, a great image.
Well done.

cracking image Bob, I have only seen one so I know what you mean!

I am always suprised that people get any shots of owls (other than short-eared) due to the lack of light. Wonderful to see, wonderful shot!

Superb shot! Love those eyes and the soft light!

It's a lovely shot, I would love to be able to get as close as this. Beautifully taken, terrific detail

Cracking shot of a little Bob, but your going to kick me for this, do you think it could do with a tad rotation anti clockwise.

A beautiful image with an amazing pose captured, great light and detail

That is a corker Bob. The slight angle of the leaning bird gives it a somewhat unique appeal. Really nice.

This is just lovely comical the way he is leaning over, some great detail and those eyes

Hi Bob.
