Rhys from Darlington, United Kingdoma great shot of the owl, his 'mother' looks slightly shocked! 7 May 2008 5:26am @Saeed: Thank you Saeed Observing from Chester, United KingdomWow.. I saw one of these buzzards only last week. Great shot Al, and I will be seeing you later boyo 7 May 2008 7:15am @Observing: There everywere little buggers, Cheers butt djedfre from schaumburg, United Stateslove the owl's expression - almost looks mechanical - nice and sharp... 7 May 2008 9:10am @djedfre: cheers MaryB from Staffordshire, United KingdomAn 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. 7 May 2008 9:44am @MaryB: Thank you Mary, What is your new camera? Ronnie 2¢ from London, United KingdomLovely shot and that guy wired up like that looks to be talking the owl along a flight path! 7 May 2008 10:19am @Ronnie 2¢: Yes great ldea, cheers @Michael Skorulski: Thanks Michael Julian Kilsby from Birmingham, United KingdomA well captured moment, nicely contextualised with 'mother' behind. 7 May 2008 11:45am @Julian Kilsby: Thanks Julian, the owl thinks he is its mother because thats all its ever known from a baby. Steven from Chicagoland, United StatesGreat capture of his flight. The wingspan in proportion to its body is amazing. 7 May 2008 11:58am @Steven: Yes i thought that, thanks Sandrine from Cincinnati, United StatesGreat shot! Beautiful bird! Strange mother! :) 7 May 2008 11:59am @Sandrine: He brought it up from a baby, So it thinks he is mum, cheers Henry from Boston, United StatesNice 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. 7 May 2008 12:28pm @Henry: thanks for you comments Jen from Alpharetta, United StatesThis is an incredibly COOL shot!!! 7 May 2008 12:42pm Saeed from Tehran, IranThis is Great shot.
