Marching Little Owl

Here is the Little Owl whose company I have been enjoying recently.

Taken very early in the morning, soon after sunrise, to get as much light as possible into the eye.

More images of this chap in action are on my website and blog for those interested.

Canon 1DMk4, 800mm, 1/1000, f9, ISO800

C&C welcome

Cheers

Austin

Another very fine LO image, Austin. The complimentary BG works a treat, as does the marching pose.

The shots on the blog are very good too, the head on shot is a beauty. The two camera set sounds interesting.

Great picture, Austin, but I am not sure that the square format suits it. I would prefer to see a little off the top.
