[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
After few tryings to catch this owl in flight, not a succesful ones, at last I've got a descent in-flight picture.
The light was very difficult and you can see this on my picture data, but with a combination of luck and instinct I did it...
This is the male on his tour to get foud for the nesting female, once a while he is flying away and (hopefuly) was coming with a pray, you can see that on my former post Poor little fellow...

I hope you will like this.

Full description you can find in my former post Little Owl.

What a wonderful shot, Elroyie.
I love the POV and the action.
Having this owl flight straight at you out of the nest hole is quite an opportunity. It sounds like you worked hard to get it. Congratulations and TFS. : )

very intresting. nice composition. very well done. tfs

hello Elroyie,
Spectacular image, has a great effect in the blurred wings, you´ve captured very well the action, flying from its hole nest.
A species very similar to one from the Americas, Athene cunicularia.

Hernán

I wouldn't worry about the lack of responses on this, its fantastic! Very nice work Elroyie. :)
