I thought the Owl was back

but at close look, it was a big Dove with ruffled feathers. I wonder if it chased the Owl away, as that is where it always sat!

rather a different head shape - beautiful detail!

[Cazzi]

I'd love to see the owl too. This roost is obviously a perfect viewing spot and it is a very handsome dove. I love the detail and clarity of its wing feathers.

[Joan Robillard]

What fab clarity

[Dione Giorgio]

Great detail in this beautiful capture. Fav.

[Santina]

what a beautiful photo, focus ok and I love the ruffled plumage

[Carole Sandford]

All puffed up & important! Lovely detail!

[Christine]

Good shot

[Gosia]

Maybe?

[Babs]

Looking at the size of him I think he ate the owl ha ha

[Lou Ann]

Oh my that’s a big dove. He’s beautiful.

[Valerie Chesney]

Such a beautiful, very large dove.

[Peter Dulis]

Lovely

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Sweet capture, Diana.

[gloria jones]

Wonderful feather details and composition

[Linda Godwin]

Love the details in the wing as she has it fluffed a bit and sitting on a perfect curved branch

[Merrelyn]

Lovely detail Diana.

[bkb in the city]

Great capture

[Rick]

Great shot. Think the owl might just be out for a spell, as I don't think the dove would scare the owl, off.

[Sylvia]

Wonderful shot, great feather detail.

[Rosie Kind]

He’s really fluffy but I can understand the confusion as his colouring is so similar

[Joy's Focus]

Wonderful detail on this dove. He looks huge!

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great shot

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I'm not sure a dove would be enough to make and owl go away but you never know! This one sure is puffed up though. Good catch!

[sarah]

Definitely ruffled

[Pyrrhula]

Great capture of the dove and the beautiful feather details

[bruni]

It's all puffed up. not much bigger than our doves and I don't think it would chase an owl away.

[KWind]

Super shot...so clear and detailed.

[katy]

Fabulous light! A great shot of him too!

[Faye Turner]

Wonderful capture

[Milanie]

Really nice lighting on him - like his ruffled feathers but hope the owl returns.

[Shutterbug]

Beautiful capture.
