Paid a visit to a nearby barn owl site. Reckon last nights rain would have scuppered it’s hunting, meaning it may be forced to come out early this evening. And it did. Caught a prey item almost straight away and flew back to the nest site. Popped back after five minutes and caught another straight away!  Not easy to photo - they move quicker than you think, and light not so good. Still good though !

Cracking photo, mate! 

You should be dead proud of that. Good plotting and scheming to earn the right to take the shot too.

Well planned and executed lad.

Great shot; must have been nice to be there and view the owl in action if nothing else.

I’m starting to get to grips with the camera settings (including ISO) to get a reasonable picture in poor light. Barn owls are superb birds. Always get that exciting feeling when I see one. Bit like when you see a kingfisher, or see a Sparrowhawk whizz past you.
