Barn Owl Hover.....Enviro!!
Canon 1D MK II, 600mm f4 non IS, @f4, 1/100, ISO 800, G1548, Wimberley Head, RAW, RSE, CS2.

Hi All,

Thought I would post another of my recent Barn Owl series, As the rain here in Suffolk is lashing down today :frown: .

Anyway I'm off to the Peak District tomorrow for five days so I hope every one has a great Easter.

All comments welcome

Regards

Rob

Hi I could do with it being a smidgen big other than that its a nice environmental shot.

Phillip.

Ps errwood reservoir would be a good place to go you get wood warbler treepipit common redstart on the moors down to it you will get red grouse it's accessible from the cat and fiddle road between Buxton and Macclesfield.

Hi Rob

Works for me, the owl stands out quite well and given the crop I also like the composition!

Sorry, I think its a bit lost even for a contextual shot. Know how tough it is though. Have spent days following these around in Lancashire. In the end I chose to just sit at the junction of a few fields and note which posts it preferred. Enjoy the peak district!

Great action in an environment shot. Only suggestion would be more of a pano-crop :toast:

I have no barn owl images what so ever, i like this one a lot but i would prefer if it would have been a bit bigger in the frame!
