    Great capture, such a handsome bird
    Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

      Nice image Stan but can't help thinking its not natural looking - a Barn Owl on Gorse? I assume the gorse is to hide something on its leg - ring, strap etc Do they not release them back into the wild.

            It is a rescue centre taking in ex pets, abused and injured birds and abandoned chicks etc, obviously those that can be released back into the wild will be but many would not survive so are homed permanently at the centre

            The birds are posed but that is no different to most other centres of its type and much better than many
