Hello again all. With apologies () for even more birds, I thought I would upload another instalment from my day out at the Falconry Centre. This time it is a very wonderful Great Grey Owl. I have included a few more black and white pics this time...

1. Perching

2. Portrait

3. Kenny the Jedi...

4. In flight 1

5. In flight 2

6. Red Roof

7. Extreme Close up!

I hope you like these. Any C&C welcomed. I was rather pleased myself with the shots of the Owl in flight, as getting a decent frame filling sharp shot I found SO hard! The Owl was a lot easier than some of the other birds I was trying to catch as he was bit slower...

I am nearly through my falconry set now so maybe next time I'll post some other random sprinkles and that'll be that. Plenty more on flickr if anyone wants to see.
