From Mike Rodwell

A set of pics taken on a photoshoot several years ago with the incomparable Andy Rouse. Andy had access to a private estate where this Little Owl was rearing two young in a disused barn. The light was excellent, the dark background was due to framing the shots in front of the large entrance to the barn. No messing around has taken place with the photos other than cropping and a little sharpening in Topaz. Kit used was a Canon 1DX with 400 2.8 lens and either 1.4x or 2x convertor. Hope you like them as much as do...

I can’t believe she’d just steal a barn owl’s house like that

[–] anon6789 3 points 4 weeks ago

Naw, that's what the small owls are great for. We all have the one corner that isn't quite square, so nothing quite fits there properly.

That's where a Little Owl or Pygmy Owl really comes in handy! Just slap one of 2 in there, it fits great, and now that corner of the barn is as properly owled as the others!

That’s not a Barn Owl you fucking liar

Is there something whooshing past me or did you not read the post? 🤔

I'm not sure if anyone has cursed in the comments here before either.

I’m sorry I was just making a stupid joke, I’ll delete it if you want

Ah. I wasn't sure what was going on as I didn't recall seeing your name before, and we are typically very chill here, so I just see some stranger yelling at me and I was very confused.

As long as we're good, I'm fine. If you can't because you liked the pic and wanted to participate, that's all I wanted.

I just really like owls lol. Unfortunately when I’m scrolling I just see all my subs as a whole which includes less chill (in a funny/sarcastic way) but still friendly places and I forget they aren’t all homogeneous

No worries. Keep enjoying the owls!
