Very nice. I'd like to get a photo of an owl. I used to see them when I lived in Perth and would walk past the hospital's animal facility. Guess the smell of mice attracted them

Thanks boys..

Cheers Reverend

Seen this last week briefly on the ph but low on credit - it an amazing capture Reverend, how does one get focus in the dark without shining the flash and cause the owl to fly ?
I havent succeeded to this day, Lol

I use a red LED 5 watt torch. It doesn't bother them or their eyes. Actually it is brilliant for all nocturnal animals.
Thanks everyone.

Cheers Reverend.
