I'm tired

I finally managed to spot this chap(ess) with a bit of help from a passer by.
The light changed for the worst just as I set up.

Tawny Owl

Sigma 800 + 1.4x TC (1120mm)
1/60th, f8, ISO500

Wow, well spotted.
They do pop up in the funniest of places, but you often have to do a "double-take" when you do see one.

Well done on capturing this fella!

Must admit i would never have spotted that.

Thanks everyone.

I struggled to spot it myself, but once it was pointed out, it was blatantly obvious.

It was nice to get out with the camera.
I didn't get many opportunities last year, something I hope to change this year.
