Appreciate feedback!

Very good. I like the shot of the owl in flight. Is this the Hawk Conservancy down near Andover? I keep meaning to go there.

Amazing shots, especially the in flight ones!

What equipment and settings did you have??

[KBMphotography.com]

Hiya nitsch - yes - in Weyhill, just off the A303. When you go , become a member.... the best value EVER!

Images shot with a 1Dmkii, 70-200F2.8L IS and due tot he overcast sky, at ISO 400, AV mode set to 2.8 and +1/3 stop.

I have loads more of the last year....... but won't bore you with them!

Love 'em,. but that first falcon shot is so completely elegant,. the timing of the wings upturned just so.... the shape is the same as the flukes of a whale...

Beautifull.

KBM,. don't wait so long for the next batch! ;)

[MazerRakhm]

Wow, I love that first shot!

Elegently skimming the ground, and looking straight at you!

[paulhillion]

Fantastic shots, I've made a note of the address so i can make a point of visiting it when I'm next in the UK.

Thanks for sharing, post some more, I'm sure you won't 'bore' us!

Those are absolutely gorgeous !

[Reigh Higgins]

Terrific action shots !!

[skade]

Excellent shots!

[Vetteography]

That first shot is amazing! The other two are great, but that first one blows me away!

[RbrtPtikLeoSeny]

Woah! Fantastic! So sharp! You must have been using a pretty fast shutter speed to get those shots!

Cheers for the info Alan, I must go and check it out this summer.

I love the fourth picture of the second batch of pics you posted. That Owl looks like an angel rising up into the air. Amazing.

[CyberDyneSystems]

I remember that Owl shot from last year (the great grey) simply one of the most amazing shots I've ever seen!

WOWZA!

Too many that I just completely love. The eagle landing on the stump, the first hawk flying, the white bird with wings spread. Wowza, again.

[KBMphotography.com]

And a special prize to anyone who can give me ALL the bird types (in Latin or English!!)

(And CDS will lend you his kit IF you can tell me all the birds names!!) :)

[Simon Spiers]

That Tawny Owl is very cute!
And the Barn Owl in hover is even better!!!
Great pictures
I love Owl pictures......
