Long Eared Owl

[Cyclops]

A first for me so well happy, even if the foliage got in the way
It was a bit wet and dull as well

400mm with 1.7 TC f5.6 1/125 sec with tripod and cable release.

Cheers

That's a belter!! That foliage is nothing to the stuff I had to shoot through when saw these. Incredible bird!

Thanks he seemed to be resting for the evening hunt as he was there for 2 - 3 hours.

Fantastic shot

cheers

We had between 2 and five Long Eared Owls sitting up in dense trees most of the day on the side of the canal locally You could just make out blood on the beak of one from the nights hunt. Sadly - they've naffed off now - not been seen for a while., but they were pretty reliably there for a couple of weeks.

A cracking shot Ian and, in my opinion, the slight blurring caused by the intervening foliage takes nothing away from it - well done

Lovely shot and as othjers have said the foliage takes nothing away from it.

If this is wild, nice one! The branches/leaves in the way make the image, you would be hard pressed to find a LEO without them!
