    I visited Glenveagh castle in the beautiful county of Donegal a few weekends back. The weather was a bit patchy but here's 3 that made the cut:

    Barn Owl
    Glenveagh Castle
    The Gardeners Cottage

    nice shots..like the owl
    barn owls are pretty rare...and shy at that...how did you manage to get the shot (was it with the 70-300...i just bough a similar lens and really looking forward to giving it bash)? were you waiting ages & did you have a hideout?

    God no, I wouldn't have the patience nor the time to sit in a hideout or anything like that. It was on the glove of a member of staff of the castle, looking very sleepy due to it being the middle of the day :) and yes it was taken at 300mm.

    Number 1: Personally I think this is very bland because the range of colours is
    very bad and derefore there is no mmmmm interesting areas? (is that the word)

    Number 2: Lovly picture all in all

    Number 3: I think it would be better if when taken, the gate was off centre!

    I love the first one.

    My eyes are drawn to his eye brow and the gorgeous markings on his feathers. Truly beautiful bird. Nice shot.
