I like that a lot Den, the detail in the eyes is superb, looks good with its tufts up (y)

You are such a lucky b*****d den :LOL:

Very jealous of this. Infact, is possibly better than all of the little owl posts. What a beautiful looking bird!

The first shot was at 1/20 sec with iso 3200 handheld and to be honest i didint look on the back of the screen at all,i waited untill they were onthe PC when i got home as i just thought i had no chance of a decent shot ,i was pleasently surprised ,i will be going back for more after summer .
 
I'm still toying with the idea of a longer lens, but not sure if the 150-600 is going to cut it. Even wirh a tc , i doubt i'll get images as close you you get

with information i knew this bird would land on at least one of four posts at dusk,on the previous nights it landed on the two posts furthest away from me while i was set up at the nearset ,after a couple of nights it eventualy landed on the nearest its just a case of hanging on in hope ,this shot was with a 500mm
