Posing Juvenile Little owl

[dennis greenwood]

I have not seen much of the two young little owls this year ,i have seen them knocking around and they are normaly spending some time exploring about this time.
Last night was my first night staying till dusk ,mainly to to check out what time the juveniles were coming out ,got lucky as this one came out earlier than i expected .

What a terrific portrait!!! I played with the crop on this image quite a bit trying to figure out which one was best. I kept coming back to yours, so good choice. Love seeing those talons.

This pose cracked me up. It's so cute and fluffy and it is complemented by the beautiful background.

Quite lovely bird, BKGR, and image. Is the bird on a set-up perch?

Beautiful! Nice IQ, bird, BG, exposure and spareness. Crop works perfectly for me. Well done.

No, there are numerous perches the birds land on that are dotted around the territory,i just watch were they are favouring and move accordingly

Great perch, background, and down-the-barrel pose. The fluffed feathers add a lot of character to this individual.

That is an absolute cracker Dennis, super details and great pose.
(I have found a pair of Little owls 10 min walk from my house!)
