hey those are both WOW shots! I've seen GHO but don't even start to look until all the leaves are down. Until then I usually make myself happy with the big owl calls of the GHO and Barred

great shots, I would love to see an owl one day! I saw 2 tawny frogmouths at school the other day and its moments like those when I wish I had my camera. Great work.

Many more thanks to all that have looked and commented. I do realize there was quite a bit of luck in finding this guy. I did go back the following day and came up empty. It was quite an experience seeing him there mid afternoon. I'll definitleey have a few more looks to try and locate him once more. Thanks again! :) :)

These are very good shots taken under difficult conditions. I would be in seventh heaven if these were mine. :-)


Best regards

In the first shot it has an almost sad look to it. Congrats on your find, always exciting to see owls in the wild!

Great horny toads, er, owls, Keith! That's a real find. Those are lovely shots, especially with difficult light.

And you have obviously used that opportunity well despite the bird being strongly backlit.
