Barn Owl Portrait.
One of my dreams came true, this morning, I was lucky enough to capture my first images of wild Barn Owls. I caught three, sat on posts, shots I've longed for and this was probably my best picture of the session. I saw perhaps eight Owls on the morning and watched them hunt. Wily Kestrels mobbing the birds of their catches, on the wing could have made fantastic shots but my in flight technique needs much work before posting anything! I have a feeling this may be a male, as other shots show no spotting on the chest or under the wings but please correct me if I'm wrong. I hope to get more shots of these beautiful birds, I've decided it's my spring project for this year along with Brown Hares!
