Barn Owl stopped by for some portrait shots....

[Vintage Racer]

I've spent the past two weeks waiting for this Barn Owl to give me some 'semi' daylight shots and last night it finally obliged. - Spot the second Owl in the background of the final image!

Stunning captures...never get tied of these wonderful creatures. We had a nesting pair last year in our paddock, hoping they return this year.

Lovely set and wonderful opportunity; I'm jealous! Might be a bit heavy on the crop and NR on the first too IMO.
