Spotted Owlet

A relatively common bird in Chennai's green spaces.

 

An aside on the equipment - after considering for long, I invested in the RF 100-500 lens for my telephoto needs. Having shot with the EF 300 2.8 for 10 years, a lens that had never let me down, this was a hard decision to make. Have to say, I was quite impressed with the low light abilities of the new lens - especially AF and and handholdablitiy at 500mm (1/13th of a second in this instance). Something tells me I will miss the prime though, when I need higher shutter speeds in low light or for that magical OOF background. I won't miss the size and weight though!
