Hi All,

I know it's Barn Owls again but, this time with a difference.

The Male was Hunting and then suddenly another appeared, I just thought the Partner had come out too, at first they appeared comfortable. Whether the Male initially thought the newcomer was it's partner I don't know, major crops but quite a spicy encounter.

Re: Fight, Fight, Fight

Well spotted and captured Paul. You were in the right place at the right time. But with the skills required to make the images as the drama unfolded, well done [emoji106]

Thanks to all who looked and commented, some of the shots aren't the sharpest sadly, the action was very quick, by the time I had thought to slow my speed to give me a better suited DOF to get both birds, it was all over

Not seen one in the wild let alone two - superb set that show the moment well (I take it both were okay after the foray?) 2 & 3 are my favourite out of the sequence.
