Owl in my back garden
« on: January 07, 2020, 02:04:49 am »

I live in a big city, several million people, yet we have a lot of bird life. My mother lives in a cottage behind my house and called me this morning when she spotted this sitting on the small cliff that is the back boundary of my property. I'm not much a bird photographer but recently bought the new Sony 200-600 and couldn't resist this beauty. Shot hand held with the Sony A9.

Thanks. It looks like it has taken up residence. I hope so.

Eagle Owl I have been informed. I am ridiculously pleased to have it hanging around.
