All great, No. 2 my fave despite the barn owl being so classical, which lens did you use btw?

Amazing as always Daan. I have been missing out on some of your birds of prey pics... You needed to post some more and then you did... Just for me, right?

I love #1 and #2, awesome work sir!

i wish #5 didn't have the wires on the feet as i prefer the wild look

As for 5 -- is that a hand he is standing on?

merci beaucoup, but #2 isnt a barn owl. Its a canadian eagle owl (but you probably knew that, confused the numbers a bit?) I shot these with the Sigma 70-300. The birds were pretty close, so i could get some nice portraits.

Thanks.......and yes, especially for you. The birds of prey have moved from the place where i used to do my internship to Amsterdam zoo. And i dont go there that often (eventhough i got a membership there too) I did take some in flight shots, but those were nasty. You'll just have to do with the portraits for now :mrgreen:
