For the last Month , I have been trying to get picture of a local barn owl.

Out of 15 outing, I dipped 13 time. I could see the bird almost every time, but there was always something….

Three days ago, I did get quite close….They are still a big crop , but I like the colours….

Hopefully , I will have more chance to photograph this incredible bird.

At 3h30, this Sunday morning, I was with my eyes wide open looking at the clock. I was in a warm bed and I was knackered. But a question was in my mind. Should I stay or should I go. It took me 15 minutes to decide. And then suddenly I was out of bed, quick breakfast and off I went……

None of my friends could come with me. It was going to be a lonely affair. I like to be on my own….I can concentrate on taking pictures.

It was an incredible morning…misty, cold, and sunny…

No need to say that during the morning I had to take the mick of my friends!!! 🙂 🙂 Gareth, Richard, Martin, I though about you. Honest… 🙂
