Absolutely stunning, I heard one screech yesterday evening - a real blood curdler.
Hope you'll be posting more nature pics in the future.

Really well done!

thanks i also have red kites,woodpeckers,robins and more!
being that i am more a photographer than a birder i am still learning.
i always listen when people give me tips a figuring it will help me locate the birds.
sudenly i realised i was using my skills learnt in the army shape,shadow and shine etc.to get close and thats how i ended up here.

great pics...thanks for sharing!!

i regularly watch a barn owl hunting in the paddock at the back of my house. what interests me is the methodical way they seem to segment up the field and fly back and forth (think RADAR scan pattern if that makes any sense?!), listening before flaring and plummeting down to the ground. Was withing about 10 metres a few weeks back...totally silent...totally stunning!!

your right its very precise,why not try and get some photos to share?

It reminds me of watching a Springer work a field, they kind of section it up, work the area then move onto the next section, like quartering
