I have an image, of an abandoned church, roofless and over run by Ivy. The sky in this image is blank, so I needed to find a sky, but it had to have a certain tree in the image too, to match the tree in the original church image.
Went out briefly today to look for a suitable tree with grey skies behind it.
Didn’t find the right tree, but instead found something much better.
As I rounded a corner I noticed a stocky bird with a flat head to my right. The unmistakable shape of a Little Owl.
The light was fading, the time was 18:15, so I knew it was a waste of time trying to get an award winning image, but I did pull over, change to a long lens, whipped out a large flash gun and managed to fire two shots off very quickly.
Sadly with all this weight and no tripod handy, those images came out predictably terrible, camera shake galore.
But im glad I stumbled upon him, where there is one Little Owl there is generally another one close by.
So, a future subject to capture, and its only 10 mins or less from my house.
Captured Little Owls before, near Swaffham, Norfolk, but they are such skittish little birds, but very beautiful.
At least now I have the opportunity to film them closer to home. I will certainly be going back there very soon to capture these magnificent creatures.
