Funny evening tonight had my closest encounters with a Barn Owl but have no kit at the moment as its at Canon.
<p>My friend lent me his 50D and 400mm 5.6L but failed to tell me the shutter button is broken and the lens was 10 out on the MA. As Its his sons kit. I was pressing the shutter and it would start shooting 3 seconds later. ( he was laughing his skull off )
So missed most of the gorgeous full frame hovering shots lol got tons of blurred full frame images 
But still managed to have a great laugh.
The funny thing was he only told me the shutter button was broken after the owl had gone.
Anyway thanks for lending us the contraption Dave lol ... And i look forward to all your gorgeous shots LOL 
</p>
Managed one or two sharp images anyway .....
