I managed to find a barn owl and have been lucky enough to photograph whilst it is still light on two occasions this week. These are the best, any comments appreciated. More can be seen here: http://sussexbirdphoto​graphy.blogspot.com/ (external link)

The 3rd and 4th shots are best...hit the exposure a bit better. But I know you take what you can get with owls...

Thanks guys.
Exposure was quite tricky as the sun was always disappearing.

Nice series here of a bird that is all but completely gone from this part of our country...The 3rd image in hover mode gets most of my attention. Nice!!
