I know I said that I would never go to a zoo again, but I had an opportunity to meet with other photographers so I caved in.
For every visit to Järvzoo, my only wish is to get good pictures of one species – you can never get them all anyway, so one is good. The birds are the trickiest ones and the great grey owl (Strix nebulosa) has always eluded me, I’ve never succeeded in creating a single keeper after years of trying. Until now, that is – I was fortunate enough to have the camera ready when the owl yawned, and I was amazed to see that the picture is sharp!
