I didn't do my usual Friday night "thing" and go to the pub, instead I made the ultimate sacrifice and had a "dry night". I decided my time would be better employed sitting in my mobile hide for a few hours in the hope that a Barn Owl would show. And I was richly rewarded with some superb views of a male Barn Owl in the golden setting sun.
I was very pleased with the results and once the sun had set I did eventually find myself in the pub, well a couple of late pints were just reward for such a successful evening!
Call that a dry night? You deserved it mate. That's an absolute beauty.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous image Paul, the light is fantastic too.
ReplyDeleteCheers Buddy.
DeleteWhen you get fabulous results like this, I'm surprised that you don't have 'mildly damp' nights more often. Well worth the sacrifice!
ReplyDeleteYes much better than a few pints, I suppose!!! Cheers Richard.
DeleteSuperb Paul, without doubt, the best shot you have taken IMO.
ReplyDeleteCheers Andy, although I am not sure what the "IMO" means? Am I being thick?
DeleteWowww!!!. Great shot.. Just beautiful.. Congrats..
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Ana.
DeleteThats a superb image mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DeleteStunning shot of what is a really splendid bird.
ReplyDeleteShame about the hours missed in the pub though as you'll never get them back!
Cheers,
Carl
That's right Carl, those 3 or 4 pints are gone forever, but I am sure I will make up for it along the way!
