Great shots of amazing animals.

Sadly almost no owls here in The Netherlands

Or they play hard to get

excellent! #1 and #3 are my favorite, but they're all great. there are supposed to be owls out in my areas, but I never see them

Thanks for all the great comments! Appreciate it! Its the same here. They are hard to find now. These pictures were taken few winters ago, and I wish I'd get to see them in the wild again.

Beautiful images. I particularly like 2 & 3.
You are lucky to live somewhere you can photograph such beautiful birds

I swear I am going to get a decent one this winter. I think I need to buy something with a bit more reach. I do enjoy nature photography. Thanks for sharing these images they are lovely.
