Ebbw Vale Owl Sanctuary

I hope these look as I'd hoped they would, I didn't want any to look 'wild' as it were, seems to be most people's intentions with captive birds, I wanted to try and portray their captivity. There's a lot of images here, so I don't expect full C&C, I wouldn't do that to you guys! however, if you do see an image you think needs some work in particular, please say - I'm very interested in macro shots of birds and would like to improve.

Great Grey Owl

Re: Ebbw Vale Owl Sanctuary

If you're ever round that way Azz, they're well worth a visit, they need all the support they can get at the moment, as some nasty piece of work on the council is trying to get them closed down :*(

Re: Ebbw Vale Owl Sanctuary

Thank you JR! I wasn't sure about it, I liked it but really didn't know why. At least someone else likes it too - so I don't think I'm going mad!
