BIRDS

'Startled - Barn owl'
Size 31x43cm Charcoal engraving on board
The barn owl is one of the most widely distributed and beuatiful birds of prey being found right around the globe. This little guy was being rehabilited back to the wild after being orphaned at a very early age. Though used to her handler she took fair exception to me poking my camera in her face in the name of wildlife conservation.
