Nice Russell.... unfortunately i have never had a chance to shoot these owls and like you may have to add this to my bucket list.....

Well done. There haven't been many in our area this year, but there are now 4 locally. Sadly the weather is dreadful..

Lovely capture! congrats. I didn't have my camera, but I had a bucket list viewing of one on Maui, at sunset, flying down the slopes of Haleakala. It was magical.

I've been really fortunate over the last few weeks to regularly get to see an SEO locally. It's since moved on but it was amazing to watch.

Great shot.

Great shots of lovely owls. This was my 'quietly pleased with myself' shot from the Dee Estaury. Cropped and processed to be a 'power off' image on our Frame TV
