After last nights near fatality with Daz, tonight I opted not to check out any of my boxes for breeding activity, instead I was just going to have a drive around a few sites to see if any owls were showing.
A distant haystack owl checks me out!
It came a little closer but still too far for any quality images.
Nice views were had of an owl in a roadside tree.
And this owl sat outside its nest hole on that lovely branch.
The light wasn't brilliant for photography tonight but that didn't matter as a few owls were seen and thank goodness there wasn't a ladder in sight!!!
What a lovely set of pics, the last one is a cracker! Linda
ReplyDeleteHi Paul just stumbled upon your site and excellent pictures. Out of interest what lens do you use.

Hi Dean, thanks for your comments. I used a Sigma 150-500 along with a Canon 40D, hope that helps???
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Linda, hope you enjoyed your visit to my Blog?
Stunning set of images mate!!
ReplyDeleteHi Paul
ReplyDeleteyes defo helped,ive recently purchased a 50D and am considering that same lens - seems to offer reasonable value given the range.Quality doesn`t appear to be a problem either looking at your pics so i`ll continue saving the pennies!.given my rekindled interest in owls / photography i`ll probably bump into you locally and chat some more.
Thanks Dean
Cheers Ben, won't be long before you capture some like wise images of your own!
ReplyDeleteYes Dean, for the money its a superb lens, I'll sell it to you when I have enough pennies for a Canon 500mm prime lens!!!!!
