Brilliant - I'll look forward to reading this thread too. Lovely shots as well. Great stuff.
I was driving home from my mates at about midnight the other day when I saw a Barn Owl stood on a fence post at the side of the road near a field. I slowed down and parked up to get a closer look. It then took off and hovered no more than 10ft away from me where it was focused on some critter in the grass. It was a truly awe-inspiring experience. So quiet, beautiful and graceful. I wished I had my camera with me at the time as it flitted around for about 10 minutes without any care for me and was often almost in touching distance (though I tried to remain as well hid and inconspicuous as possible). A truly magnificent bird.
Keep up the good work Jeff
