What a beautiful shot, many congratulations. It looks like a Little Owl to me.

When we lived in rural France for two years before coming to Spain, there were many owls in the surrounding trees, and late one balmy night I sat on the lawn imitating the sound of one. In the end I must have done this quite successfully, because all of a sudden there was this large bird diving straight for me out of nowhere! Fortunately it veered off at the last moment, but I learned my lesson!

Hahaha Alec, yeah this is a screacher owl I believe, the only owl out during the day, we see them all the time and I am so happy we have them here in our garden, I love taking images and my camera is pretty good so I am glad to have put it to good use

Funny story there about the owl flying at you, serves you right for doing it's mating call hahahaha
