Guide to Photographing Barn Owls (Tragopan V6 Hide Test)

I'm on a new location today hoping to photograph one of the UK's most beautiful birds, the Barn Owl.
With a few props, my trusty Tragopan V6 and everything bar the kitchen sink in hand I head off with a view to setting up a couple of posts to see if we can captures some images of this haunting bird of prey. I also demonstrate the techniques and equipment that I adopt when scouting a new location. With a short break in the weather and inbetween some really nasty storms join me to see if we can capture some footage and film of this amazing raptor.
