Fluffed up juvenile little owl

I had some decent light and was hoping this juvie would fly in for a few mealworms on offer, hence the settings, but no luck on that front. Whilst waiting though a little gust of wind gave an interesting look to the feathers

Beautiful clean capture, Mike. Nice detail maintained with ss/f. Like the legs and bit of talons sowing. Excellent complimentary BG.

I like this looks like a little fluffed up stuff animal.

Nice capture, Mike. The wind has added an amusing shape to the owl.
