Callie, Beautiful series! Love number 2 the best! Incredible shot!👍👍👍
 
Our smallest raptor, about sparrow sized, but more robust. I think there is an Aisian or Chinise pygmy too that is just smaller or about the same size. Kgalagadi Transfrontier park and Mokala NP.

Very nice series Callie
 
That is a magnificent image - composition, capture, balance and PP. Definitely a wall hanger and salon worthy pic. Probably the best overall image of a Snowy I've seen. Well done
Thanks a lot for that Oosty. I think the image below (posted before in these forums) of the same owl was generally the more popular of the two. More detailed because I was closer to the bird here.

NICE, on my wishlist!
Thanks Callie, finally found one on my birthday earlier this year on the day before Melbourne went into a hard Covid related lock-down that meant I couldn't travel back to the site as it was out of the 5km restricted zone. Got to see its young a few month later which was another treat.
