This is a young barn owl. The owl think thats it mother behind him.
a great shot of the owl, his 'mother' looks slightly shocked!

An amazing shot Alun! I could have done with you at the falconry fair on Sunday, I could have picked your brains as to how to catch the golden eagle in flight :) I could have done it with my other cam but my new one is frazzling my brains atm lol.

A well captured moment, nicely contextualised with 'mother' behind.
7 May 2008 6:45am
@Julian Kilsby: Thanks Julian, the owl thinks he is its mother because thats all its ever known from a baby.
incredible! so is the man's face
7 May 2008 6:50am
Great capture of his flight. The wingspan in proportion to its body is amazing.
7 May 2008 6:58am
@Steven: Yes i thought that, thanks
Great shot! Beautiful bird! Strange mother! :)
7 May 2008 6:59am
@Sandrine: He brought it up from a baby, So it thinks he is mum, cheers
Nice photo. I like the quality of the owl's eyes. It puts some personality on the bird. I thought I wished the "mother" was not in the shot and then I read Ronnie 2 cents comment and thought that was a humorous take. I guess that is how a photoblog's comments can benefit the photo.
