Elusive Owl (Strix Aluco)

Mr & Mrs Tawny have been calling from the trees around the garden for a couple of months and we've only had a near-darkness fly past. The jays and crows harass them regularly during the day and I finally managed to get a (second-division) shot

Lovely capture and picture of this fabulous Owl. We often have Great Horned Owls in the trees behind our house and I can never find them, even with them hooting (lol). Congratulations Max!
