Barn Owl - Reward for Patience
Unfortunately too many photographers leave the dyke pathway and encroach on owl's hunting (and resting) areas in hopes of a good photo. This photo was taken from the broom that lines the dyke at Brunswick Point. Waiting in the weeds paid off in this instance when this Barn Owl came in low over the marsh and landed on a perch very near me. I stayed still, the owl rested for a few minutes and went back to its hunting.
Every bird photo I have taken was from marked public pathways and in the case of Brunswick Point within 3 meters of the dyke path. I hope you will agree that these vantage points yield some good photos - and don’t distress the birds.
