Burrowing Owl

Here are a couple of static shots of Basil, a burrowing owl, taken during a photographic day at the Raptor Foundation in Cambridgeshire.  Unfortunately, Basil was not in the mood to put on a flying display, however many of the other raptors did oblige and will be featured in future posts.  I am particularly pleased with the nice bokeh here predominantly provided by the vibrant rapeseed field in the background.

Raptors

My final batch of images of the stunning raptors from the raptor foundation.  Already looking forward to my next visit where hopefully the eagle owl will not go AWOL and I will have a better opportunity to capture these beauties in flight.  By the way the kookaburra is the only non raptor at the foundation.
