This was the other Eagle Owl. We were going to do flight pixs of the Barn Owls but the rain came and put stop to that so we will go back again in a few days time. This chap was very large!!!

That image is Post#16 is very good.
Post#21 is excellent as well but Post#16 image a lot more unusual.

Plus one.

All these images are excellent, at this level they need that little extra 'WOW' factor and that's what I was referring to in my last post. Post 16 image is exceptional, I also love the two little Owlets in the rain.

Thank you both for sharing these excellent images, I feel it gives me something to aspire to, may never get there but at least I can try.

We have a 'World Owl Centre' at Muncaster Castle, not far from here, I have tried taking photographs there but nothing like a nice as these.

Got a few of the Indian Eagle Owl in flight but light was poor so would have liked to push shutter a bit faster. We will have another go at flight pixs on next trip.

My error this wader is in fact a Green Shank! Another view from further away. Much more noise as it is just centre of frame.

Graham...excuse be being a bit thick.....

Do you mean it's more obvious because it's a sectional enlargement or have you actually noticed there is more noise in the centre of the D500 sensor than the edges???

No Just because it's a very big blow-up from small section of the pix. The bird was just a bit larger in viewfinder than the focus spot. It was more than twice the distance from me than the previous pix. Lens at 400mm plus x1.4. Noise is same across pix but blow up of whole image area would be a print 4ft wide!

Ok thanks, that's what I thought you meant but I just had a thought you might have discovered variable noise across the sensor. I suppose that's a bit daft really but strange things do happen. o.O
