From Mike Rodwell

A set of pics taken on a photoshoot several years ago with the incomparable Andy Rouse. Andy had access to a private estate where this Little Owl was rearing two young in a disused barn. The light was excellent, the dark background was due to framing the shots in front of the large entrance to the barn. No messing around has taken place with the photos other than cropping and a little sharpening in Topaz. Kit used was a Canon 1DX with 400 2.8 lens and either 1.4x or 2x convertor. Hope you like them as much as do…

      Is there something whooshing past me or did you not read the post? 🤔

      I’m not sure if anyone has cursed in the comments here before either.

    I can’t believe she’d just steal a barn owl’s house like that

      Naw, that’s what the small owls are great for. We all have the one corner that isn’t quite square, so nothing quite fits there properly.

      That’s where a Little Owl or Pygmy Owl really comes in handy! Just slap one of 2 in there, it fits great, and now that corner of the barn is as properly owled as the others!
