Little Owl with swift moth.
Another from the depths of the archives! This is a 64 ASA Ecktachrome slide copied on a D7100 with a 40mm Nikor macro and home made spacer. Camera flash onto white paper.
Otiginal with single flash bought from Boots the chemist. Hide on scaffold and nest in old barn roof. Nested there 4 years in succession.
Again pot luck with the shot, going by sound of the bird landing. The worst bit was having to wait a couple of weeks to get the film back
Taken on a pentax S1a with a 135 Soligor.
Taken in 1968 .I can recall very vividly every minute I spent in that hide,and I never for onesecond imagined that I would be photographing the same species with the same food item some 47 years later ¬¬
Slightly different gear now too !!
It won't stand too close a scrutiny !!
Thanks for looking
