Not another one !.
Getting flight shots of these little birds was difficult, their flight time from the tree perch to the ground is less than a second. I used both manual exposure and focus, I took many, many shots very little to show for it, this in one of the few that is close to what I had hoped for. All comments welcome.

The noise in the lower part of the image is a little obtrusive . Nice idea and well worth a revisit .

It is a fab idea and like Mark said worth having another go, this one is a bit to noisy

Forget the noise, just getting the image is worth a :toast:

It is such a natural shot, terrific angle- that the noise just does not bother me at all. :toast:

Hi Bob

The noise doesn't really bother me and not at all when I see what you have captured - you don't see many sharp images of wild Little Owls in flight.

A shame about the noise, but I agree with the other David, when I see what you have captured... WOW!

Bob, cracking capture. The noise does not bother me at all but if you now wish to revist the image it can easily be fixed in post processing. Andrew
