Wet Tawny Owlet

It's late I'm shattered but I'll have to process a few pics from todays amazing day.

 

Here is a tawny owlet from this afternoon. This is a wild bird and it was a nightmare to shoot.

 

You should never go close to these birds. The mother was higher up in the tree and if you approach them they can get abandoned also you can get attacked by the adults. I took this shot with an 800mm lens and a 1.4 extender giving me 1120mm! I was miles away!

 

When i got there the owlet was dry and fluffy. I've a whole load of shots and will post a blog tomorrow

 

Hope you like this cute little wet thing :)
