Congratulations John Harper
Burrowing Owl

Hi There

Well the light levels continue to get lower in the UK as the Winter Solstice approaches, and I had to push the ISO level to 6400 to capture this shot.

Its of Burrowing owl "Dick Turpin" being given a helping hand from Falconer Jimmy at the Hawk Conservancy Trust here in the UK. It does illustrate very well just how small these owls are.

Really 'hand of man'. :) I like this, the owl looks so tiny this way.

Hi There

Well this came as a nice New Year surprise :), and thank you for the honour of POTW. I hope to keep the flag flying for Avian Captive Hand of Man in the new combined forum from time to time.

Thanks again
