Hello Everyone

Been a while since i posted life and illness having intervened, was lucky enough to be invited by a birding expert to go out and try to get some pics of a pair of Powerful Owls that live in some challenging country in central victoria

after walking sideways up some pretty steep hills me and my osteo arthritis were wondering if this was such a good idea until.......i saw these guys

Nikon D800e and 80-400afs vr

Not something one sees every day don't you love the eyes !

Cheers

Thanks for the feedback i appreciate it

Evidently these owls are endangered, and according to the guy i was with the only thing they are afraid of are wedgetail eagles so were not perturbed by the likes of me !
