Hi Gary,

Very very nice. Love the that big face and those gorgeous black eyes.

Out of interest was he/she sitting on a dry stone wall looking in the grass or is it some thing else??

EDIT: Just had a look around your website, some fantastic images on there

Well Done

Regards

Rob

Many thanks all for the kind words,
In reply to robams question, The Owl was hunting along a dry stone wall,
It would fly 10 meters or so, land look around on the ground then repeat the exercise.
showing no interest in me at all. despite me making frantic squeaking noises to get it's attention

WOW! What I'd give for a wild owl image like this. In fact, just experiencing it would do for me. Great image in all respects :toast: Graeme

Not much I can add here, super image, detail in the 'whites' held nicely.
