Very nice shot. We had Barn Owls in the barn when I was a kid, but I have not seen one since.

I wouldn't mind a record shot of one. This is one owl I've had no success with. Yes, even considered flying to England to photograph them but, right now, no time. Argh.

Save your money. I haven't seen one for forty years and I live in the same county as lippy, but I don't know whereabouts he is :(

Lovely shot - I feel the atmosphere.
