Great Shot. I finally got my chance to shoot a barn owl inside a barn, but the little bugger flew off before I could adjust the lighting. Got him outside in a tree but not a great shot. I am going to keep trying. This one is very good.

Thank you Kathyryn. I worked with a variety of Auatralian species of owls for a couple of years so got to know their behaviour quite well….i completely understand how hard it would be to get a good shot of a wild one as they are very sensitive. Would love to see your pic when you do get it but :)

WOW! what a fantastic and hard-to- get shot. This is amazing, I can see this in a glossy birds and mammals book!

a bit out of focus, but still a nice capture.
