Queensbury Tawny Owls
4 Images courtesy the garden owner
Another bright and dryish day with a light W>4.
After drawing a blank on the last 3 visits to the local Tawny Owl spot for me, the garden owner sent me the above photos this evening.
He saw 1 Tawny come out from the roost just after dark so ran for his camera and took the shots on full zoom using flash, coming up with these amazing results.
Thanks very much for the photos and the constant info on the owls, unfortunately I will have to leave you nameless to keep the location as an undisclosed site.
