Barn Owl at last
After five years on my local farms I finally have a barny visiting regularly :jump:

Been watching it for a couple of weeks and it is gradually getting used to the landy and is starting to come a bit closer. This is still a bit of a crop but hopefully better to come.

1Dmk4 400 f2.8mk2 + a 1.4x mk3 converter 1/3200 f5 iso 400 pipe lagging on landy window quickly processed in DPP as its bedtime :wink:

What a beautiful flight shot with that nice green BG.
Well done!

Unfortunately they don't fly during the daytime down here..

Greetings,

I have never even seen one around here and the ones I see in UK are the wrong side of the river :( So yes, nice close up and in flight too.
