Had been watching the two young owls for a couple of weeks, but now they have started their career as pedestrians in the quarry 4 miles from my home.
Just by chance did I find the adult bird in the day hide. I guess he (or she) found me a lot earlier than I found him (or her).
I had to use full zoom plus digital zoom on my Sony RX 10 iv, so there is a certain amount of digital noise.

Well focused. A superb capture with interesting details. The bird looks fine. Amazing use of full zoom plus digital zoom. (y)
Sony will probably sponsor you soon. :giggle:
 
Thanks for your warm and encouraging comments. I mostly use a DMF in manual mode to really tweak focus as much as possible.
