I shot some eagle owls in flight today at work. Beautiful birds to see in flight. They really are massive ( i hate it when you miss the tip of the wings in the shot)
Here are the pics:

Yeah, the BG wasnt all that, but i was on the wrong side of the field at the time.
And here are some new shots (with the wingtips in the frame )

Technical details eh. Well these are shot with my Tamron 70-300, so the focal lenght is between those numbers. I shot at ISO 800, since it was a cloudy day. The aperture was F8 and the shutterspeed was between 640 and 1000.
