The next day I went there again with some friends; after some time we spotted the hawk owl and got some images in the distance. Even though I used the Nikon D800 I felt it was a long distance; this turned out to be right - I took around 200 frames with only two being acceptable. I was happy having at least two nice images - or so I thought - when I got home, 'pixelpeeping' the images, I could see they were good but not excellent. But I had already spent around one and a half days chasing a photo of a hawk owl - and that had to be enough time for one bird.

On day three I got a call from a keen wildlife photographer, he wanted help to locate the hawk owl - and, of course, I guided him over the phone.
