Barn Owl In Koramangala

I've been spotting barn owls in the park in front of our house for a while now. I've also concluded that there is a fairly healthy population of these birds in Koramangala since I've spotted many individuals in several different locations. Yet photographing these creatures has been a challenge. They usual scoot before I get a chance to bring my camera out, even if I manage to locate them sitting. Today, everything fell in place. This individual not only sat on an empty branch, he waited till I set up my tripod, and even obliged to stay still for the 15 seconds that the shutter remained open.
