It must be wonderful to have access to so many great bird species. Here in ireland, rather a lot of our birds are a bit unexciting, like this fellow below[]

That's a great picture actually thanks to the great bokeh. Which lens did you use? Which focal length and which f number?

Caught him again in the same place this April!
I like the owl, good job on retaining details inthe white feather. The crop is too compressed, a little room infront of the bird should add a sense of the bird flying toward. []
