My first barn owl perch shot

[j.palmer]

Can you believe it! you just don't know when they going to pop up. This was on my way home and I had the camera on the seat ready, just in case.

Ive alway wanted a perch shot to add to my flight one and Im happy that this one held up to a big crop.

Although the light was'nt ideal, I think it may have added to the image.

Well another shot in the bag, makes up for the fieldfairs not showing.
And I really do hope the lapwings are there tomorrow.
