    Ok, so the one in the BKG isn't looking to camera, but this was just a little 'tongue in cheek/fun' more than anything and I could not resist sharing it.

    Super capture Steve - would be even better if there was a little separation between the birds. Nice details, great work as usual. Regards, Ian

    Made me laugh!! Thanks for sharing this...what makes it work is the serious look on the face of the stationery owl.

    Made me smile!

    Maybe 'photobombing' could be an upcoming theme!

    Hi Steve, you are so fortunate to get to see and photograph these guys so much. Great inquisitive pose from the owl in front, and I hope you at least got his take off shot.

    You are having fun with these Owls. Looking forward to see more. Excellent exposure and details and love the pose of the one in front.

    Glad to see that you are still having fun with your owls. Nice looking frame, even if it did get photobombed. The owl on the left looks great and the perch adds lots of interest. Techs look solid too. Well done
