Beautiful shot. Sharp, colouful, atmospheric, the list goes on. And the loss of the eye really makes me feel for the bird!

Breathtaking!

Super standard photo Tom, well done. Just a question.....does autofocus work with the TC?

Thanks everyone

Ove, handholding would have been a lot easier in this situation; being hidden behind my bag hide and trying to follow this bird was the challenge! lol

Rob, with the 500mm f/4, yes the auto-focus worked well; widest aperture being f/5.6 :t:

:eek!: Staggering capture, Tom, and to have a poor one-eyed Owl makes it even more special!!! :loveme: How exciting, to see it coming directly forwards towards me!!! :bounce:
