Owl Expedition

A few days ago we discovered that the owl had returned to his special knot in the old tree. The sun was shining this morning so I set out with camera and tripod to see if I couldn't get a nice portrait of him. As I approached the park I also entered a dense patch of fog. And when I found the right tree in the park, I discovered I didn't have the right lens with me and I had forgotten the release plate for the tripod as well. But I took a picture anyway. What you can see here is an extreme crop. Still, for some reason I find our Munich owl very exciting. Not a common city sight, anyway. I'll go back and get a proper picture - not today though.

I've included the original photo in the extras, shot at 105mm. The owl looks very far away and is well camouflaged.
