In flight shot

[wildone]

Nowhere as good as Bodie's or John's with their new cameras but I am pleased with this as my first in-flight shot and thought I would share it with you all.

Is it a barn owl?
It is a good shot, did he/she get a mouse?

[wildone]

Mrs Fish, yes it is a Barn Owl. Whether it managed to have something to eat I'm not sure although it did drop down in the grass before flying back to the barn.

Nice one Winnie! It must have been a real thrill to see this, never mind get a shot of it.

That's a decent shot Wildone. I've never photographed one at all let alone one in flight so well done I say.

well done - not easy to capture

[wildone]

Thank you for those kind comments. Unfortunately it was at the extreme of the camera's range. I see it fairly regularly but always at a distance; at the RSPB's site at Eldernell on the Nene Washes. Maybe one day it will decide to come closer and give me a better shot of it.

That's great. I would just love to see one flying in the wild.

Great shot Winnie, its always going to be special for any photographer when they manage to capture one of these beautiful birds in-flight.
