Just because Steve finds a pair of Tawny Owl youngsters he thinks he can have a gallery of birds....! One has to start somewhere..!! Mostly taken at 300mm using the 75-300mm Canon DO lens, and postprocessed using various programmes as I am still experimenting! I am now using the Canon 400mm 5.6L and Canon 1.4 TC - hand held, somehow the tripod seems to stay at home! Off for the first two weeks of June to the Isle of Mull so we'll see what fortune brings!
