ONE MAN AND HIS OWL

SCREECH OWL SANCTUARY - CORNWALL

Well, OK, it's a woman actually but it doesn't quite sound the same. Yet another shot from my day at the Screch Owl Sanctuary, I'm getting towards the end of processing these now so, if you're getting fed up with owls, don't worry I'll be working on something different soon.

I'm not quite sure what this ones name is, they have several barn owls and they are lovely birds but don't have quite as much character as Rupert and Gizmo, the owls from my last two PaDs, so they weren't quite so memorable as individuals.

The last two days have been close up portraits of the birds, so I decided to post a shot of the whole bird with it's handler for a bit of variety.

If you like owls, clicking back a page or two in this gallery will bring up some more owl images along with links which will take you into my owl gallery.

If you can spare a moment to leave a comment, that will be much appreciated as I am always interested in feedback on my work (good or bad). Thanks.
