Last week I featured some images from our Bird Encounter with Leigh Valley Hawk and Owl Sanctuary, such a wonderful day. After our 90 minutes free flight demonstration (where I did not do so well photographically) we moved inside for lunch and then a Posed Portrait Session with Martin, Talia, Eggy the Barn Owl and Cleo the Peregrine Falcon against some wonderful backdrops the Photography Group had brought (VPC) and some studio lights. This is what I had come for 🙂
Way too many pics, but when you can freely shoot a barn owl this cute, up this close…be honest wouldn’t you take way too many pics too?

Wonderful, beautiful photos, Julz.
The owl is gorgeous.
Last year I read a book from someone who is crazy about them and one day decided to have her own at home. Fascinating read.

Fantastic photos!! Beautiful birds. I was just in Ireland at a falconry show and was able (like you) to hold the birds and took a few good photos too. https://brilliantviewpoint.com/2017/08/31/falconry-at-adare-manor-castle-hotel-in-ireland/
