No Jason I don't , what I do is follow the bird in my viewfinder single point focus its always the way I have done it for birds in flight and the walking shots ,I just follow the bird and do my best to lock on....
I have been contacted by a TV company about doing a small documentary about the three sites i have been observing over the years but due to them wanting to show all the surroundings i refused as it would show the North west of England were my owl spots are as the landmarks were just to easy to spot,yest they are all on private land were i had permission to film but i will not stop people wanting to go for a nosey and it would soon end up like a circus ,and i had my 15 mins of fame a lot of years ago...All show great camera craft as well as the field craft required to "get" the shot.
I also agree with Ray in post #46 about a book or at the very least a full magazine article.....perhaps the RSPB magazine???

I don't think I need to do that ,all the photos on here apart from that one are from a non baited site ,nearly all members on here no the history of the my little owl sites ,so to remove the non baited for one shot at another site when I will be adding more action shots over the coming weeks in this thread seems a bit pointlessThese are some absolutely wonderful Little Owl shots. But, maybe remove the, not baited, disclaimer from the thread picture 72 as I'm sure the mouse didn't commit suicide.
