Six months of endless pursuit, my wish of getting a close up shot of the Spotted Wood Owl in Gunung Pulai was granted finally, in a very unusual way. It crashed into a tree not far from where I was trying to get some flight shots of a woodpecker!
And glad that the Owl finally took off safely 2hours later without serious injury, and surely wish to see her again soon, without the crash I hope!
"Ough!"
So I failed again in getting the flight shot of the Common Flameback! But who is complaining! :)))
Wow how cute this owl is too.... It is really beautiful! Well done Paul and for the pictures of the fight, you might get it another day ;-)
ReplyDeleteI like the eye contact shot! Cool!
