    Default A Little Owl - late for work...

    Here is one of my latest Little Owl images.

    This bird is very busy at the moment gathering food and taking it back to the nest. I would imagine the eggs have hatched by now although I haven't heard too much noise coming from the nest area.

    Canon 1D-X, 400mm lens
    1/2500, f5.6, ISO800

    C&C welcome.

    Cheers

    This one makes me smile.
    Love the "in the air" walking pose.
    IQ is excellent as always.
    I also like the diagonal line created by the sloped ground.
    terrific POV and love the multi layered Bg,
    Gail

    I love the fact that it is fully cleared from the ground! Awesome layered BG, and techs look great. I could have done without the brighter OOF stuff along the perch's line but certainly not a deal breaker...

    Great capture! DOF is very good at 5.6 with the front foot looking very sharp. One determined Little Owl!

    Love it. Like a little man purposefully striding with his hands behind his back and his coattails flying. Great timing, techs are spot on; lovely BG.
