Ready to land
I travelled to a farm in
Bedfordshire to spend the day
in a hide photographing little
owls that were nesting in
a disused building. The birds
occasionally popped out to sit
on a broken window frame
before flying away to hunt. This
individual often used a gate post
as a lookout spot, and as I had
taken lots of portraits, I wanted
to capture some flight shots.
This action was captured using
a fast shutter speed. I love the
owl’s outstretched wings and
lifted talons as it comes in to
land on its favoured perch.
