That’s a corker Phil, could do with more in the wild, do they eat cats?

Beautiful lighting Phil, stunning flight shot.

Bob, yes they are known to take the odd pussy cat. There used to be an escaped Eagle Owl near where I lived in England that had a reputation as a cat killer.

It is certainly a stunning setting for a back lit landing shot - Vince really does know how to get the best for his clients.

You're surrounded by Owls now Phil, so now summers finally here I hope you can get out and sort a wild one to work on :toast:
