Just recently when ever time allows I have been making some evening visits to a couple of local Little Owl sites that are now boasting juvenile activity. All three juveniles are now able to fly (well sort of flap and flutter) and they are constantly in pursuit of mum and dad whilst begging for food. Because of all the antics a few "different" photo opportunities have presented themselves. I have also been blessed with some super light levels as the sun sets. It means no heavy shadows and it is not as harsh as in the middle of the day, consequently a nice golden tinge complements the overall feeling of the image. The light has also allows for higher than normal shutter speeds and this means having a go at capturing some in flight shots where the action can be capture and frozen in time.
I am quite pleased with the results of this last session, its fingers crossed now that the good light stays with us so I can return and fill my boots! My next challenge to to try and obtain an image of all three juveniles and both parents in the same image, mmmmm a tough task but possible........I think!
You know I'm always going to enjoy flight shots, however I really like the interaction between adult and juvenile bird, especially the food pass image, truly a special moment, well done and good luck with the 3 juves and adult shot. you'll get it.
