zandy01 3,575 Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Set up a pop up hide at a sight where I know there's been a LEO hunting and feeding chicks, went this evening as the owl hunts between 7.30 - 8.30 and true to form, he landed on expected post and I got my shot 19 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zandy01 3,575 Posted May 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Great pic, any with its ears up ? Sorry pal, only managed 18 shots total while he was sat on post, I'm kinda glad his ears weren't pricked up to be honest as they were down means he was relaxed and either not aware of me in hide or just comfortable no danger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
