I'd heard the bird's call on my daily lockdown walks over a period of 3 weeks. One afternoon I took my Canon M50 with 100-400 mark II lens with me. The Yellow-throated Minor birds were making a commotion and so following their activity to a large gum in the bush I looked up to see the owl staring down at me. The Powerful owl is the largest of it's species in Australia. f6.3 1/800 330mm ISO5000

Good catch of a fine looking bird.

It is a beauty but I'm not sure I'd want him staring me down all the time.

Thank you all for the positive comments.

Yes with the Canon adapter. I used a cheap Viltrox adapter for a while but the fit was a bit loose and the camera errored until the adapter was reseated again. No such issues with the official Canon adapter. Doesn't pay to try and save money !!!

Saving for the R6 :-)
