Barn Owl
500mm f7.1 1/640 iso200 Full Frame

Hi all

Just to let you know I've put a short tutorial on my blog on my new method of removing leg rings from barn owls. Cheating, I know, but they are a pain when you've invested hours in getting the shot! Might come in handy for those who shoot captive birds as well as I appreciated you haven't all got barn owls on your doorstep!

Hi simon
I agree with you and not totaly convinced its nessary to ring every bird going.
I wonder how these ringers would like some leg irons on for the rest of there life.
Im not going to start down that road,
Anyway super light.

Very good pose Simon.

p.s. I hate the amount of ringing that seems to occur here in the UK. So good to see clean legs when in South Africa on my recent trip.
