Don't think I've ever seen one, not knowingly at least.
We're very fortunate here in the South Pennines Chris, perfect habitat for them to thrive. On a good vole year we've had up to 19 breeding pairs.
It's a cracker and looks like it 'clocked' you
Thanks BB, yes, I wasn't hiding for this shot
Its quite interesting behaviour, the Jackdaws appear to mob it for no other reason only fun! They never attack or steal its pry, they just like to force them to a perch. On a number of occasion, after a couple of minutes, they'll just get bored and fly off.
If not and I'm close enough, I'll usually walk towards them. The Jackdaws always fly first, leaving the owl to carry on hunting.........I like to think its my way of saying 'thanks' to the owl for posing so nicely
beautiful shot
how are you enjoying the 500pf ?
waiting on Panamoz getting them back in stock
Thanks Holty, no complaints and been impressed with the mk3 tele attached.
Thanks Jason
I think bright sunshine would have not been as nice as the eveing soft light Phil, cracking shot fella
Les
Thanks Les, although I'm not sure I agree, ISO 1250 would've been a lot more appealing
I like very much!
Thank you Keith
That's excellent. Definitely a bogey bird for me (let alone photographing one!) Is the white balance a bit on the cool side though?
Thanks Jerry, I does look a tad cool on me laptop but better on me monitor or phone, that's not saying it isn't as I'm well over due calibrating me monitor.
I've done a quick side by side edit and warmed it up a tad, interested to see if it looks better, cheers
