I got out for a couple of hours for a walk and as luck would have it this turned up and let me give my new lens a try
A9mkII FE 600f4 +1.4tc 1/6400 sec. f/5.6 840mm iso 1000 My settings could have been lower but I wanted a very fast SS to check the lens out .
Have to say very happy with it .

Both are excellent, indeed; well done. I think the pose in the first shot is particularly appealing. Good for you.

I managed to get out again last night the light was really good ,this owl came too close for some shots but went passed me twice and gave me a good chance at some shots the below setup by far helps get the shot .

My wife and I are intrigued by owls, and were awed by your superb pictures. Knowing how reclusive these birds are increases our appreciation of the photos.

Thanks, I feel very lucky to have found this one as they should have moved on by now, I think they were late coming so have stayed a little longer .

I manage 3 days of seeing it in good light each time i got a few shots, cloud now for a few days .

These are wonderful shots. The Sony 600 f4 seems to be extremely good, but your skill with using it is exceptional.
