Beautiful video, thanks for sharing! I love owls, too, and tawnies are my favourites. I´ve made lots and lots of nesting boxes for them over the years as they have few nesting opportunities in our woods. You were realy lucky to have found one and even luckier that she let you film her :) They´re normally pretty shy and fly away or disappear in the cavity. Great work! Btw, what lens were you using that goes down to f4..?

[@michaelaagaardphoto]

Thank you so much Petr! Wow that's so cool! I haven't built any nest boxes myself yet, but it is definitely on my to-do-list. I photograph a lot of owls so I think I've gotten better at approaching them without scaring them off. I was using a Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 for this. For some of the shots I was using a 1.4 converter that makes the camera go to f/4. Unfortunately I broke the lens a few weeks after making this video. Thanks for your comment man, I appreciate it!

[@MikSwePhoto]

I am happy that you finally found an owl. It is not the easiest just to walk out and find one. To bad I couldn't join you, but I was in a different part of Sweden at that time. The result of that is coming next week on my channel :-). BTW I love your music, do you think it is possible for me to use it in my videos?

[@michaelaagaardphoto]

Hi Mik - thank you very much! Too bad we couldn't hang out, but I'm looking forward to seeing you video! Thanks for the compliment on the music. It is actually me playing the guitar and it is an original song of mine :)

[@MikSwePhoto]

@@michaelaagaardphoto I know and that is why I asked ;-)

[@ReverseSenescence]

[@michaelaagaardphoto]

Thank you Andrei! Looking forward to seeing your vids!
