    Captured this a few years ago at my local owl spot. These babies are probably three weeks out of the burrow. They are scrambling to get ahead of each other as Daddy comes in to feed them.

    Fantastic. Great POV, lighting, sharpness bang on, the timing is excellent - criticising this one is beyond me!

    Sweet David, love the debris being churned up, adds to the image nicely. Great to have reasonable light too.

    You can just see the sibling rivalry! Just the right amount of DOF to pull off the shot. Nicely done!

    Killer behavior/action image, David. Love those stares and the intermingled wings and kicked up dirt. Great opp and you made the most of it.
