[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Barn Owl, Tyto alba, photographed at Liberty's Raptor And Reptile Centre in Ringwood, Hampshire.

This particular owl was found waterlogged and unable to fly, sitting on a gate post in someones garden. The marks on his leg where he'd had a ring cut off indicated that he was probably a captive bird that had been released into the wild when the owner got fed up with him, and left him to take his chances in the forest. However as an imprint he was unable to fend for himself effectively, and so was rescued, and has now started earning his living at the Centre where he is used for flying demonstrations and as one of the "have your photo taken with an owl" birds.

tres beau portrait miles.
l'exposition est tres bonne,les yeux sont brillants.
le BG comporte un peu de bruit mais c'est tres leger.
la position de la tête par rapport au reste du corps me fait penser a une "vedette" de cinema qui voulait rentrer a la maison.qui?
E T evidemment!
bravo.
