Hi Bev,

Great work.

Fabulous catch here!
Curious again ... are those Jessies on His Legs? Are they usually Day time Birds?
The NZ Owl is called a Morpork ... because that is what it's call is ... not a *hoot* but a *morpork* ... in the Bush at Night is akin to being in a Butchers Shop ... bravo on the Portrait of Napoleon!

Hi Bev, Very nice shot and well caught, showing bird in full flight. Exif info would be helpful for us amateurs trying to get up to your standard.

Wow!..what can i say in reply to such great comments.

Paul..thank you and its just loads and loads of practise and loving the type of photography ie wildlife/avian.

Brian..yes they are jessies and captive owls do become accustomed to daylight hours. Interesting info on the Morpork!
TCO & Barry many thanks and sorry for the lack of exif info, its the resizer software i use it doesnt hold the exif info..i must learn to batch resize in CS2!
