Managed to escape for two hours and found one of these, I got as close as I could but needed a bigger lens than 800mm.

Lucky you..... nice image, showing the owl in its environment..... would prefer a little less foliage over the bird but not a lot you could do about that.

Very nice Tim! Shame about the leaf above the left eye but you can't have everything!

Works for me too. The texture and colour of the setting makes this one. Am not at all bothered (am I bovvered?!) by the leaf over the eye, it gives it a coy look.

tease me :biggrin:

Nice shot of the owl in its environment. The spring foliage acts as a pleasant frame. Makes me wish for an 800mm!

Hi Tim, I missed this one for some reason :confused:

This I like a lot because its very natural indeed plus he as spotted you in the armchair good & proper, this is shown by the way he as pulled his feathers in tight.

Nice Spring leaf colours to :toast:
