Yes, it was a great day and apart from being able to shoot in some of the enclosures there were much better photo opportunities than on a public day as you dont get bothered by the crowds and noisy kids

Iv'e got a shot of the snowy owl as well which i will post in a mo

Re: Barn Owl

Looks almost 'plastic' or something
Pity about the ring on its legs
They are indeed a beautiful bird
Good to hear you had a great day out

Re: Barn Owl

Hi Sam

thanks. Not much you can do about the ring and this sort of shot is the next best thing to a wild shot
